Identification of neuronal RNA targets of TDP-43-containing Ribonucleoprotein complexes

TL;DR: This work reveals the protein and RNA components of the TDP-43-containing ribonucleoprotein complexes and provides a framework for understanding how dysregulation of T DP-43 in RNA metabolism contributes to neurodegeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

TDP-43 is a developmentally regulated protein essential for early embryonic development.

TL;DR: It is shown that TDP-43 is a nuclear protein with persistent high-level expression during embryonic development and with progressively decreased protein levels during postnatal development, indicating that TDF is developmentally regulated and indispensible for early embryonic development.
Journal ArticleDOI

TDP-43 Is Directed to Stress Granules by Sorbitol, a Novel Physiological Osmotic and Oxidative Stressor

TL;DR: This study establishes sorbitol as a novel physiological stressor that directs TDP-43 to stress granules in Hek293T cells and primary cultured glia and proposes that mutant TDP -43 alters stress granule dynamics, which may contribute to the progression of T DP-43 proteinopathies.
Journal ArticleDOI

TDP-43 aggregation in neurodegeneration: are stress granules the key?

TL;DR: The "independent model" stipulates that TDP-43 aggregation is independent of stress granule formation, in contrast to the "precursor model" which presents the idea that stress granules formation contributes to a TDP"-43 aggregate "seed" and that chronic stress leads to concentration-dependent TDP -43 aggregation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Progranulin: A Proteolytically Processed Protein at the Crossroads of Inflammation and Neurodegeneration

TL;DR: Revealing the cell surface receptors and the intracellular functions of granulins and progranulin is crucial for understanding their contributions to neurodegeneration.
