Abstract excerpt
Zinc is an important trace element in the human body, and its homeostasis is closely related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Cytoplasmic FUS proteins from patients with ALS aggregate their important pathologic markers. Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of FUS can lead to its aggregation. However, whether and how zinc homeostasis affects the aggregation of disease-associated FUS proteins in the...
