TBK1 eliminates aggregation-prone monomeric TDP-43 through an IFNβ-immunoproteasome pathway in ALS models

Abstract Loss-of-function mutations in TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), characterized by cytoplasmic aggregation of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43), known as TDP-43 pathology, but the mechanisms beyond i...
