Description

The abstract describes TDP-43 pathology involving nuclear loss and cytoplasmic aggregation through hyperphosphorylation, ubiquitination and cleavage, but states the pathophysiological mechanisms are ‘very complex’ without explaining the causal sequence. Understanding these mechanisms is critical for developing targeted therapeutics for TDP-43 proteinopathies.
