Optogenetic modulation of TDP-43 oligomerization accelerates ALS-related pathologies in the spinal motor neurons

Optogenetic approaches for inducing TDP-43 aggregation have been described previously in cellular models. Here the authors develop an approach to optogenetically induce TDP-43 aggregation in vivo using zebrafish to model ALS pathologies.
