Altered Metabolic Profiles Associate with Toxicity in SOD1G93A Astrocyte-Neuron Co-Cultures

Abstract Non-cell autonomous processes involving astrocytes have been shown to contribute to motor neuron degeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Mutant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1G93A) expression in astrocytes is selectively toxic to motor neurons in co-culture, even when mutant protein is...
