Mitochondria-Targeted Catalase Reverts the Neurotoxicity of hSOD1G93A Astrocytes without Extending the Survival of ALS-Linked Mutant hSOD1 Mice

Dominant mutations in the Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) cause familial forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal disorder characterized by the progressive loss of motor neurons. The molecular mechanism underlying the toxic gain-of-function of mutant hSOD1s remains uncertain. Several...
