Intra-condensate demixing of TDP-43 inside stress granules generates pathological aggregates

Abstract excerpt

Cytosolic aggregation of the nuclear protein TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) is associated with many neurodegenerative diseases, but the triggers for TDP-43 aggregation are still debated. Here, we demonstrate that TDP-43 aggregation requires a double event. One is up-concentration in stress granules beyond a threshold, and the other is oxidative stress. These two events collectively induce intra-condensate...
