Abstract excerpt
Fused in Sarcoma (FUS) is a ubiquitously expressed protein that can phase-separate from nucleoplasm and cytoplasm into distinct liquid-droplet structures. It is predominantly nuclear and most of its functions are related to RNA and DNA metabolism. Excessive persistence of FUS within cytoplasmic phase-separated assemblies is implicated in the diseases amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia....
