    • Decreased function of survival motor neuron protein impairs endocytic pathways 

      Dimitriadi, Maria; Derdowski, Aaron; Kalloo, Geetika; Maginnis, Melissa S; O'Hern, Patrick; Bliska, Bryn; Sorkaç, Altar; Nguyen, Ken C Q; Cook, Steven J; Poulogiannis, George; Atwood, Walter J; Hall, David H; Hart, Anne C (2016-07-26)
      Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by depletion of the ubiquitously expressed survival motor neuron (SMN) protein, with 1 in 40 Caucasians being heterozygous for a disease allele. SMN is critical for the assembly of ...
    • Neurocalcin Delta Suppression Protects against Spinal Muscular Atrophy in Humans and across Species by Restoring Impaired Endocytosis 

      Riessland, Markus; Kaczmarek, Anna; Schneider, Svenja; Swoboda, Kathryn J; Löhr, Heiko; Bradler, Cathleen; Grysko, Vanessa; Dimitriadi, Maria; Hosseinibarkooie, Seyyedmohsen; Torres-Benito, Laura; Peters, Miriam; Upadhyay, Aaradhita; Biglari, Nasim; Kröber, Sandra; Hölker, Irmgard; Garbes, Lutz; Gilissen, Christian; Hoischen, Alexander; Nürnberg, Gudrun; Nürnberg, Peter; Walter, Michael; Rigo, Frank; Bennett, C Frank; Kye, Min Jeong; Hart, Anne C; Hammerschmidt, Matthias; Kloppenburg, Peter; Wirth, Brunhilde (2017-02-02)
      Homozygous SMN1 loss causes spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), the most common lethal genetic childhood motor neuron disease. SMN1 encodes SMN, a ubiquitous housekeeping protein, which makes the primarily motor neuron-specific ...
    • Single copy/knock-in models of ALS SOD1 in C. elegans suggest loss and gain of function have different contributions to cholinergic and glutamatergic neurodegeneration 

      Baskoylu, Saba N; Yersak, Jill; O'Hern, Patrick; Grosser, Sarah; Simon, Jonah; Kim, Sarah; Schuch, Kelsey; Dimitriadi, Maria; Yanagi, Katherine S; Lins, Jeremy; Hart, Anne C (2018-10-08)
      Mutations in Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) lead to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a neurodegenerative disease that disproportionately affects glutamatergic and cholinergic motor neurons. Previous work with SOD1 ...
