Local protein synthesis at synaptic compartments requires intact mRNA granule transport via ZBP1 and TDP-43 in granules. Disruption measured by imaging β-actin and CaMKIIα mRNA in proximal neurites; FUNCAT samples nascent synaptic proteome. Domain expert rates as research-grade readout requiring substantial endpoint translation work. Primary weakness: research tool not yet de-risked for clinical biomarker deployment.
FRAP-based measurement of TDP-43 liquid-liquid phase separation state provides a continuous biomarker of nuclear-cytoplasmic compartmentalization. Endogenous TDP-43-eGFP knock-in in iPSC neurons enables longitudinal monitoring; orthogonal validation via mAb414 nuclear pore integrity anchors imaging to ultrastructure. Primary constraint is imaging endpoint gap—two-photon FRAP is not deployable in standard trials; PET ligand development is the critical path to clinical utility.
