Abstract:
Highlights? Gain or loss of dTDP-43 causes degeneration of neurons responsible for adult eclosion ? Gain or loss of dTDP-43 directly deregulates Map205 expression ? Map205-overexpression-defective EcR-dependent gene network switching ? dTDP-43-mediated neurodegeneration is caused by a loss of its normal function
