Oral administration of dibenzoylmethane (DBM) prevents cognitive decline in a C9ORF72-mediated FTD mouse model
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are two related neurodegenerative disorders that display overlapping features. The hexanucleotide repeat expansion GGGGCC (G4C2) in the C9ORF72 gene is the most common cause of ALS and FTD, which results in the accumulation of dipeptide-repeat protein aggregates. Regulation of protein synthesis at the level of the initiation…
