Chronic optogenetic induction of stress granules is cytotoxic and reveals the evolution of ALS-FTD pathology
20 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
Stress granules (SGs) are non-membrane-bound RNA-protein granules that assemble through phase separation in response to cellular stress. Disturbances in SG dynamics have been implicated as a primary driver of neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), suggesting the hypothesis that these diseases reflect an underlying disturbance in the dynamics...
