Here, we show that mainly excitatory cortical neurons are affected by TDP-43 pathology and define the cell types that are affected the most: intratelencephalic L2-L3-LINC00507-FREM3,...

Here, we characterize the cell-type specificity of TDP-43 pathology in the primary ALS/ALS-FTD motor cortex by employing a multi-modal approach that enables highly-resolved identification of cell types.

Cytoplasmic TDP-43 pathology is a pathological sign of ALS/ALS-FTD and a converging disease event across different genotypes, phenotypes and CNS areas. To understand this process and target...

Understanding the Context

In a groundbreaking advance set to redefine our understanding of neurodegenerative disorders, a team of researchers led by Ruf, Khlwein, and Meier has unveiled a multi-modal.

Here, we show that mainly excitatory cortical neurons are affected by TDP-43 pathology and define the cell types that are affected the most: intratelencephalic L2-L3-LINC00507-FREM3, L3-L5-RORB.

Researchers have developed a multi-modal approach to analyze cell-type specific pathology of TDP-43 in the human motor cortex, offering new insights into neurodegenerative disorders.

Key Insights

Here, we report a high-resolution, comparative single-cell molecular atlas of the human primary motor and dorsolateral prefrontal cortices and their transcriptional alterations in sporadic and.
