Human motor units in microfluidic devices are impaired by FUS mutations and improved by HDAC6 inhibition

Katarina Stoklund Dittlau, Emily N. Krasnow, Laura Fumagalli…·Ludo Van Den Bosch

This study uses a microfluidic model of human motor units to show that FUS mutations impair neurite outgrowth and NMJ formation, which can be mitigated by HDAC6 inhibition.

C9orf72-derived arginine-containing dipeptide repeats associate with axonal transport machinery and impede microtubule-based motility

Laura Fumagalli, Florence L. Young, Steven Boeynaems…·Philip Van Damme

This study shows that C9orf72 repeat expansions produce toxic arginine-rich DPRs that disrupt axonal transport by interacting with microtubules and motor proteins, contributing to ALS/FTD.
