Investigation of selective vulnerability of motor neurones in spinal muscular atrophy
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a leading genetic cause of infant death, is a neurodegenerative disease characterised by the loss of motor neurones in the anterior horn of the spinal cord with concomitant muscle weakness. However, a growing body of evidence shows that different motor pools in the ant...
