Metformin inhibits RAN translation through PKR pathway and mitigates disease in C9orf72 ALS/FTD mice

Repeat associated non-AUG (RAN) translation is found in a growing number of microsatellite expansion diseases, but the mechanisms remain unclear. We show that RAN translation is highly regulated by the double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR). In cells, structured CAG, CCUG, CAGG, and G(4)...
