Background: After spinal cord injury (SCI), lipid metabolism dysregulation at the lesion site exacerbates secondary damage. The transcription factor pu.1 has been implicated as a negative regulator of multiple lipid metabolism-related genes and pathways. However, its role in post-SCI lipid metabo...
Beyond motor neuron degeneration, homozygous mutations in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene cause multiorgan and metabolic defects in patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). However, the precise biochemical features of these alterations and the age of onset in the brain and peripheral ...
