Altered mitochondrial function in fibroblast cell lines derived from disease carriers of spinal muscular atrophy

HIGHLIGHTS

  • What: The authors show a depolarized mitochondrial membrane potential increased levels of reactive oxygen species and reduced citrate synthase activity in SMA carriers compared with controls. The aim of this study was to determine whether fibroblast cell lines from asymptomatic disease carriers of SMA show altered mitochondrial function.
  • Who: Rachel James from the Edinburgh Medical School: Biomedical Sciences, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK Euan MacDonald Centre for Motor Neuron Disease Research, University have published the research: Altered mitochondrial function in fibroblast cell lines derived from disease carriers of spinal muscular atrophy, in the Journal: (JOURNAL . . .
