Bossolasco P, Sassone F, Gumina V, Peverelli S, Garzo M, Silani V
Stem Cell Res . 2018 May; 30:61-68. PMID: 29800782
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a severe neurodegenerative disease, mainly affecting the motor neurons (MNs) and without effective therapy. Drug screening is hampered by the lack of satisfactory experimental and...

Sassone F, Margulets V, Maraschi A, Rodighiero S, Passafaro M, Silani V, et al.
Hum Mol Genet . 2015 Sep; 24(22):6530-9. PMID: 26358776
Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by the expansion of a CAG repeat in the IT15 gene that encodes the protein huntingtin (htt). Evidence shows that mutant htt...

Nat Commun . 2014 Oct; 5:5182. PMID: 25316086
Although loss-of-function mutations in the PARK2 gene, the gene that encodes the protein parkin, cause autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism, the responsible molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Evidence suggests that a loss...
