Metals in ALS TDP-43 Pathology

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and similar neurodegenerative disorders take their toll on patients, caregivers and society. A common denominator for these disorders is the accumulation of aggregated proteins in nerve cells, yet the triggers for these ag...

description Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and similar neurodegenerative disorders take their toll on patients, caregivers and society.

In ALS, protein aggregation has been described for the SOD1, C9orf72, FUS and TDP-43 proteins.
