Mimicking hypomethylation of FUS requires liquid–liquid phase separation to induce synaptic dysfunctions

Abstract The hypomethylation of fused in sarcoma (FUS) in frontotemporal lobar degeneration promotes the formation of irreversible condensates of FUS. However, the mechanisms by which these hypomethylated FUS condensates cause neuronal dysfunction are unknown. Here we report that expression of FUS c...
