TDP-43 Nuclear Loss in FTD/ALS Causes Widespread Alternative Polyadenylation Changes

Introduction and Academic Background Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) are two severe neurodegenerative diseases whose pathogenic mechanisms remain incompletely understood. In recent years, the RNA-binding protein TDP-43 (TAR DNA-binding protein 43) has been recognized as playing a central pathological role in bo...

Alternative mRNA Polyadenylation Regulates Macrophage Hyperactivation via the Autophagy Pathway

NUDT21 Regulates Macrophage Hyperactivation via the Autophagy Pathway Academic Background The inflammatory response is a critical component of the body’s immune defense, facilitating pathogen clearance and tissue repair. However, dysregulation of the inflammatory response can lead to chronic inflammatory diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease ...
