**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The therapeutic strategy centers on modulating liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) through targeted disruption of pathological protein-RNA multivalent interactions. FUS (Fused in Sarcoma) and TDP-43 (TAR DNA-binding protein 43) are intrinsically disordered proteins containing low-complexity domains that drive phase separation through weak, multivalent interactions with RNA molecules and other RBPs. Under physiological condit
## **Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The liquid-to-solid phase transition of ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules represents a critical pathological mechanism underlying selective neuronal vulnerability in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). This hypothesis centers on the differential susceptibility of specific RNP granules to pathological solidification based on their unique scaffold protein composition and client protein cargo. The molecular foundation of th
