Modulation of choline acetyltransferase synthesis by okadaic acid, a phosphatase inhibitor, and KN-62, a CaM kinase inhibitor, in NS-20Y neuroblastoma.

abstract：:Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a devastating neurological disease that is inevitably fatal after 3-5years duration. Treatment options are minimal and as such new therapeutic modalities are required. In this review, we discuss the role of the myostatin pathway as a modulator of skeletal muscle mass and therapeutic ap...
