Protein TDP-43 keeps genetic zombies at bay: New insights into neurodegenerative disease mechanisms

by Quinn Eastman, Emory University Graphical abstract. Credit: Cell Reports (2024). DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2023.113662A new Cell Reports paper from Bing Yao’s lab in Emory’s Department of Human Genetics provides insights into mechanisms underlying several neurodegenerative diseases, such as ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and Alzheimer’s. It can be summarized in one line: TDP-43 keeps genetic zombies at bay....

Motor neuron disease discovery offers new insights into potential treatment targets

Scientists have discovered how certain forms of motor neuron disease begin and progress at cellular and molecular levels, revealing potential new ways to slow down or even stop this process. The team are already working closely with pharmaceutical companies to use this knowledge to develop new treatments for motor neuron disease and other neurodegenerative conditions....
