Gene therapy reverses effects of lethal childhood muscle disorder in mice

feeds.sciencedaily.com — “Reversing a protein deficiency through gene therapy can correct motor function, restore nerve signals and improve survival in mice that serve as a model for the lethal childhood disorder spinal muscular atrophy, new research shows. This muscle-wasting disease results when a child's motor neurons -- nerve cells that send signals from the spinal cord to muscles -- produce insufficient amounts of what is called survival motor neuron protein, or SMN.View full resource at feeds.sciencedaily.com
