Abstract excerpt
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal motor neuron disease that is characterized by the formation of abnormal inclusions in neurons. While the pathomechanism of ALS remains obscure, a number of proteins have been identified in the inclusion bodies, and the pathological roles of RNA-binding proteins have been increasingly emphasized. Among those, the FET proteins (FUS, EWSR1, TAF15) were recently...
