Neuronal circRNAs may reflect synaptic, mitochondrial, and RNA-regulatory disruption in neurodegenerative disease. The strongest near-term use is biomarker discovery and stratification; therapeutic manipulation remains low-confidence because causality, stoichiometry, delivery, and m6A specificity are unresolved.
Pathological TDP-43 condensate dynamics, phosphorylation, aggregation, and nuclear depletion disrupt RNA processing in ALS/FTD. The strongest therapeutic version is not generic LLPS modulation but restoration of nuclear TDP-43 function, cryptic-exon repression, stress-granule resolution, and neuronal survival in human-relevant models.
