Translational regulation in the brain by TDP-43 phase separation

In this study, Gao et al. demonstrate that the global loss of TDP-43 liquid–liquid phase separation perturbs brain function by modulating interactions of TDP-43 with PABPC4, RPS6, RPL7, and other translational factors to orchestrate protein synthesis.
