TDP-43 dysfunction induces cryptic circular RNAs in ALS/FTD

Nuclear depletion of TDP-43 is a defining pathological feature of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), leading to widespread RNA misprocessing, including the formation of cryptic exons. Here, we identified TDP-43 as a regulator of circular RNA (circRNA) biogenesis in multiple human neu...
