Abstract excerpt
TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) plays a critical role in RNA metabolism and is incorporated into biomolecular condensates called stress granules. In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and several other neurodegenerative disorders, TDP-43 undergoes aberrant phase transitions, forming insoluble amyloid aggregates, including fibrils composed of solely its intrinsically disordered C-terminal domain (CTD)....
