Selective Brain-Penetrant TTBK1 Inhibitors Modulate TDP-43 Pathology and Rescue Cognitive Deficits in a Mouse Model of TDP-43 Proteinopathy

It is found that these inhibitors reduce TDP-43 phosphorylation levels in neuroblastoma cells and FTD patient-derived models, and restores cognitive deficits, conferred neuroprotection in the frontal cortex, and reduced microglial activation in an FTD-TDP mouse model, supporting its therapeutic potential.
