4. Drug blocks lethal motor-neuron disease in mice
   02-22-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a motor-neuron disease caused by mutations in the gene SMN1 that prevent it producing the protein SMN. New research shows that in a lethal mouse model of SMA the drug trichostatin A (TSA), which is a hydroxamic acid HDAC inhibitor, can improve survival and attenuate disease, indicating that hydroxamic acid HDAC inhibitors might be potential therapeutics for the treatment of individuals with SMA.

A new finding from University of Michigan researchers demonstrates an unpredicted link between a virtually unknown signaling molecule and neuron health. In a study released in PNAS this week, Lois Weisman connects the loss of this molecule to massive neurodegeneration in the brain, which plays a key role in the survival of nervous system cells.
