Grant Activity:
Understanding neuromuscular synaptic loss in Motor Neuron Disease
Purpose:
Motor nerve withdrawal from muscle is the first event in all forms of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS); it leads to muscle weakness, paralysis and death. Our proposal is aimed at identifying mechanisms that underlie this withdrawal of motor nerves from muscle. We believe that muscle fails to effectively respond to proteins released by the motor nerve ending that are required to ensure that the motor nerve is able to communicate with muscle to trigger its contraction.
