While the study establishes TDP-43 triggers mtDNA release via mPTP to activate cGAS/STING, it's unclear why this pathway preferentially affects motor neurons in ALS when TDP-43 pathology occurs in multiple cell types. Understanding this selectivity is crucial for targeted therapeutic interventions.
