Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurological disease that leads to loss of voluntary muscle movement. Here, the authors screen for molecules that disrupt interaction between SOD1, a protein linked to ALS, and Derlin-1, and find an inhibitor that reduces pathology in an ALS mouse model.
