## Mechanistic Overview
C9orf72-SMCR8-WDR41 Complex Dysfunction in C9-ALS Rescued by PIKFYVE Inhibition via Lysosomal Exocytosis Restoration starts from the claim that modulating C9orf72/SMCR8/RAB7A/PIKFYVE within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "## Mechanistic Overview C9orf72-SMCR8-WDR41 Complex Dysfunction in C9-ALS Rescued by PIKFYVE Inhibition via Lysosomal Exocytosis Restoration rests on the following mechani
