image: This image shows the expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP, green) in a rodent spinal cord after gene therapy treatment. The transduced cells express the GFP, indicating an efficient transduction of the central nervous system. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the March 13, 2015, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by M. Nizzardo at University of Milan in Milan, Italy, and colleagues was titled, 'Gene therapy rescues disease phenotype in a spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1 (SMARD1) mouse model.' view more
