What molecular mechanisms enable functional recovery and muscle re-innervation after motor neuron loss in ALS/FTLD?

PARTIALLY ADDRESSED

The study shows dramatic functional recovery and muscle re-innervation after cytoplasmic TDP-43 clearance, even following motor neuron death. The cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying this unexpected regenerative capacity in neurodegenerative disease are not explained. Gap type: unexplained_observation Source paper: Functional recovery in new mouse models of ALS/FTLD after clearance of pathological cytoplasmic TDP-43. (2015, Acta neuropathologica, PMID:26197969)

Priority: 0.89 Domain: neurodegeneration Hypotheses: 0
