Abstract excerpt
Protein misfolding crucially underlies the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Mutant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) and TAR DNA-binding protein 43kDa (TDP-43) are major causal proteins for familial and sporadic ALS, respectively, provoking diverse pathogenic pathways in both intracellular and extracellular environments. Of note, cell-to-cell spreading behavior is implicated in the progression of...
