A hallmark of many neuromuscular diseases including Alzheimer disease, inclusion body myositis. amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, frontotemporal lobar dementia, and ocular pharyngeal muscular dystrophy is large cytoplasmic aggregates containing the RNA-binding protein, TDP-43. Despite acceptance that cytoplasmic TDP-43 aggregation is pathological, cytoplasmic TDP-43 assemblies form in healthy regenerating muscle. These recently discovered ribonucleoprotein assemblies, termed myo-granules. form in healthy muscle following injury and are readily cleared as the myofibers mature. The formation and dissolution of myo-granules during normal muscle regeneration suggests that these amyloid-like oligomers may be functional and that perturbations in myo-granule kinetics or composition may promote pathological aggregation.
