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.
Repeated activation, inflammatory lesion exposure, aging, and senescence-like programs in oligodendrocyte precursor cells may impair remyelination in progressive MS. The ALS extension is weak, so the prioritized hypothesis should focus on MS remyelination with safer differentiation-promoting or senescence-modulating strategies rather than toxic broad senolytics.
