Abstract
TAR DNA binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal lobar degeneration. Pathologically misfolded and aggregated forms of TDP-43 are found in cytoplasmic inclusion bodies of affected neurons in these diseases. The mechanism by which TDP-43 misfolding causes disease is not well understood. We postulate that the aggregation process plays a major role in pathogenesis, and we hypothesize that oligonucleotide ligands of TDP-43 can stabilize the native functional state of the protein and ameliorate aggregation of this aggregation-prone protein. Using recombinant TDP-43 we were able to examine the extent to which various oligonucleotide molecules affects its aggregation in vitro. We have found that certain natural sequence and de novo designed oligonucleotides bind TDP-43 and prevent its natural tendency to aggregate. The clinical and therapeutic implications of these findings are discussed.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
