Abstract excerpt
TAR DNA binding protein (TARDBP) is one of the major causative genes of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which drives disease progression through both gain-of-toxicity (GOT) and loss-of-function (LOF) mechanisms. The mutant TDP-43 exhibits aberrant nucleocytoplasmic distribution and forms cytotoxic hyperphosphorylated aggregates, a process that can be robustly recapitulated in vitro. Thus, functional assays...
