Abstract
Partial loss of TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) causes amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Xu et al. identify the role of TBK1 in suppressing neuroinflammation and apoptosis by its inhibition of the receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) and elucidate how aging and genetic susceptibility together cause neuroinflammation.
