## Mechanistic Overview
ASO-Mediated Exon Skipping to Restore FUS-TAZ Chaperone Axis starts from the claim that modulating FUS within the disease context of neurodegeneration can redirect a disease-relevant process. The original description reads: "# ASO-Mediated Exon Skipping to Restore FUS-TAZ Chaperone Axis ## Background and Rationale Fused in Sarcoma (FUS) is a multifunctional DNA/RNA-binding protein belonging to the FET family that plays critical roles in transcription regulation, RNA proce
**Molecular Mechanism and Rationale**
The fundamental molecular mechanism underlying this hypothesis centers on the aberrant liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) properties of mutant FUS proteins and their consequent resistance to autophagic clearance. FUS (Fused in Sarcoma) is an RNA-binding protein containing a low-complexity domain (LCD) that drives LLPS under cellular stress conditions. Wild-type FUS undergoes reversible phase separation to form membraneless organelles called stress granul
