Mice With Friedreich’s Ataxia Experience Nerve Cell Repair After Bone Marrow Transplants
A study has found that bone marrow transplants can restore nerve cell damage in mice with Friedreich’s ataxia (FA), forming new nerve cells and improving movement. FA is a genetic disorder caused by an FXN gene mutation for frataxin. Frataxin is a protein that allows the mitochondria in cells to function properly. Without Frataxin, energy … Read more
