Gillingwater lab show how energy levels in neurons regulate degeneration in the childhood motor neuron disease spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)

The Gillingwater lab, working in collaboration with colleagues in the Euan MacDonald Centre for Motor Neurone Disease at the University of Edinburgh and SITRAN at the University of Sheffield, have published a new paper showing that motor neurons can be protected in the childhood motor neuron disease SMA by targeting energy-processing pathways.
