Optogenetic modulation of TDP-43 oligomerization accelerates ALS-related pathologies in the spinal motor neurons

Cytoplasmic aggregation of TDP-43 characterizes degenerating neurons in most cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Here, we develop an optogenetic TDP-43 variant (opTDP-43), whose multimerization status can be modulated in vivo through external light illumination. Using the translucent zebra...
