The Role of Nucleocytoplasmic Transport Defects in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

There is ample evidence that nucleocytoplasmic-transport deficits could play an important role in the pathology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, the currently available data are often circumstantial and do not fully clarify the exact causal and temporal role of nucleocytoplasmic tran...
