Cryptic splicing in synaptic and membrane excitability genes links TDP-43 loss to neuronal dysfunction

Caiwei Guo, Kuchuan Chen, Sarat C. Vatsavayai…·Aaron D. Gitler

This study identifies TDP-43-dependent cryptic splicing events in synaptic and membrane excitability genes and shows they drive neuronal dysfunction in ALS and FTD.

A human iPSC-derived motor neuron-myogenic cell coculture platform to evaluate neuromuscular junction innervation after axon injury and in Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Keunjung Heo, Xiangsunze Zeng, Kathleen Zhang…·Clifford J. Woolf

This paper develops a human iPSC-derived motor neuron-myogenic coculture platform to study NMJ innervation after axon injury and in SMA, showing blebbistatin enhances NMJ reinnervation and confirming reduced NMJ function in SMA patient-derived neurons.
