Thioridazine reverts the phenotype in cellular and Drosophila models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by enhancing TDP-43 aggregate clearance
Brain inclusions mainly composed of misfolded and aggregated TAR DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43), are characteristic hallmarks of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).Irrespective of the role played by the inclusions, their reduction represents an important therapeutic pathway that is worth exploring.Their removal can either lead to the recovery of
