A new study reveals how the FUS protein aggregates and spreads in frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The research shows that misfolded FUS proteins act like prions, spreading disease within the brain and exacerbating neurodegeneration. This discovery opens new avenues for therapeutic strategies targeting protein aggregate spread.
