- W2153719074 abstract "Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disease caused by abnormally low cellular levels of the ubiquitous protein SMN. Traditionally, reduced levels of SMN were thought to cause the selective death of lower motor neurons, leading to denervation and atrophy of skeletal muscles. However, numerous recent studies challenge the notion that SMA is solely a disease of lower motor neurons, indicating that SMA may actually be a multi-system disorder. There are several promising therapies for SMA, but effectively targeting treatment to all affected cells and tissues remains a major issue. Identifying and characterizing pathological changes that occur across all cell types and tissues affected by SMA is crucial for successfully developing new SMA therapeutics, and in this review we summarize recent developments in understanding the function of SMN in cells above and beyond motor neurons.

The BBB is an important consideration when determining a delivery method for therapeutics to the CNS because many compounds, including some small molecules, cannot efficiently move between the blood and the CNS. a slow heart rate. In SMA mouse models the heart rate slows by at least 20% compared to normal in the first few days of birth and slows further as the disease progresses. a measurable deterioration of the heart muscle. It can be detected by histological staining of the heart. loss of nerve supply to a tissue in the body. a dynamic extension of a developing axon. The dynamic nature of growth cones allows them to respond rapidly to environmental changes that require processing of sensory input, or repositioning or extension of axons. Reduced growth cone size limits the ability of the growth cone to respond to stimuli. a state of excess glucagon secretion. In general, this is caused by an absence or decrease in the inhibitory effects of insulin on glucagon production, and indicates dysfunction in regulating the production, secretion, or recognition of insulin. a condition in which there is an excessive amount of glucose in the blood plasma. the formation of muscle tissue. the death of living cells or tissues. In contrast to apoptosis, necrosis is not well regulated, is often caused by potent external factors such as infection or trauma, and the detritus of cell death is not cleared as efficiently by the immune system, increasing the negative effects on neighboring cells and tissues. a specialized synapse between a motor neuron and a skeletal muscle fiber. a description of bone that has become increasingly porous, brittle, and subject to fracture. the removal of noncoding sequence (introns) from pre-mRNA. Splicing is a complex process." @default.
