  • Caspase-4 transgenic mice show cytoplasmic TDP-43 accumulation and age-dependent neuropathology.
  • These mice mimic cytoplasmic mislocalization of endogenous TDP-43 and motor dysfunction, resembling sporadic ALS.
  • CASP4 inhibition via antisense oligonucleotide reduces TDP-43 pathology and neurotoxicity in the model.
  • The model aids in studying endogenous TDP-43-mediated pathogenesis and therapeutics.
