C9-ALS-Associated Proline-Arginine Dipeptide Repeat Protein Induces Activation of NLRP3 Inflammasome of HMC3 Microglia Cells by Binding of Complement Component 1 Q Subcomponent-Binding Protein (C1QBP), and Syringin Prevents This Effect

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disease in which motor neurons gradually degenerate. The mutation of the <i>C9orf72</i> gene is the main genetic cause of ALS (C9-ALS). One of its specific pathological features is the production of proline-arginine (PR) dipeptide repeat pro...
