Early MATR3 loss and distinct neurodegenerative molecular signatures precede the onset of neuropathology in motor neurons and Purkinje cells of MATR3 S85C knock-in mouse model of ALS

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a motor neuron disease, leading to progressive muscle weakness and motor impairment. Growing evidence indicates that cerebellar Purkinje cells, which play a central role in motor coordination, are also affected in ALS. However, it is unclear whether the molecular events that initi...
