ALS Study Finds Higher Than Usual Levels of Axon ‘Repellent’ Protein in Patients’ Motor Cortex
Motor neurodegeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) can begin in axons at neuromuscular junctions and later spread to the cell body in the spinal cord, in a phenomenon known as the “dying back” hypothesis. Proteins involved in axonal regeneration may, for this reason, represent a potential therapeutic target in ALS. A research team from Germany found…

Specific Protein, P63, Seen to Promote ALS by Regulating Muscle Atrophy Effector Gene
In a new study, researchers found a protein in the p53 family, called p63, is increased in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and is a significant player in disease progression through the regulation of the activity of genes that promote the breakdown of muscle cells. The study, “Transcriptional activator TAp63 is upregulated in muscular atrophy during…
