RNA binding proteins (RNABPs) are trans-acting effectors that generate transcriptomic complexity and safeguard cellular functions in the brain. Their mis-regulation and mutations are often implicated in multiple neurodegenerative and neurological disorders; for example, FUS and TARDBP participate in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal lobar degeneration. Therefore, RNABPs research as a basis of potential therapeutic targets would widely impact on not only RNA biologists but also neurobiologists and clinician. We strongly believe that intensive studies would be necessary for dissecting out RNABPs functions to understand the underlying mechanism of RNABPs related diseases. Now this symposium will bring together experts from academia who are pioneering the RNA biology and Neuroscience for RNABPs research to discuss progress and potential impact of therapeutic target reaction.
