Cover: The survival motor neuron (Smn) protein, the gene product of the spinal muscular atrophy determining gene, co-localizes with hnRNP-R, an RNA-binding protein in axons of motor neurons. This could indicate a specific function of the Smn/hnRNP-R complex in RNA-processing in motor axons. See Report by Rossoll et al., in this issue, pp. 93-105.
