The copper ligand CuATSM extends life in high-expressing SODG93A mice by up to 25%.
CuATSM in high-expressing SODG93A mice co-expressing CCS survive for 20 months (500%).
Motor neuron disease can be restarted and then stopped by controlling CuATSM treatment.
CCS plus copper nearly doubles the amount of SOD protein in mouse spinal cord.
The vast majority of the mutant SOD is found in its mature and active form, Cu, Zn SOD.
