Abstract

While energy metabolism has been repeatedly linked to ALS, motor neuron metabolism remains poorly studied. Here, authors show that human iPSCs rewire specific metabolic routes when they differentiate into functional motor neurons and that ALS-causing mutations in FUS do not affect energy metabolism.
