Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) gene represent a significant genetic link across the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) spectrum. As a multifunctional serine/threonine kinase, TBK1 serves as a central orchestrator of the autophagy-lysosome pathway, regulating critical stages from initial cargo recognition and autophagosome biogenesis to vesicle maturation and...
