Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a neuromuscular disease characterised by loss of alpha motor neurons and muscle atrophy. When untreated, mortality occurs within the first two years of life in the most severe cases. Extensive research has led to thre...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder (NMD) caused by depleted survival of motor neuron (SMN) levels and characterised by neuronal degeneration and progressive muscle atrophy. Although three approved SMN-depen... Read More about A transcriptomic-based drug repositioning approach for the identification of novel muscle-specific therapies for spinal muscular atrophy.
