Cross-Seeding Prevention Strategy

**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale** The cross-seeding prevention strategy targets the pathological interaction between TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43), encoded by TARDBP, and classical neurodegenerative disease proteins such as amyloid-beta (Aβ), tau, and alpha-synuclein. TDP-43 is a 414-amino acid RNA-binding protein containing two RNA recognition motifs (RRM1 and RRM2), a nuclear localization signal, and a glycine-rich C-terminal domain that is prone to aggregation.
