    Abstract: The invention relates to a genetically modified mouse comprising a heterozygous mutation of Tardbp (TDP-43) gene in that the Asn at amino acid 390 in TDP-43 is substituted with an amino acid that is different from Asn, wherein the genetically modified mouse exhibits Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-like phenotypes, TDP-43 proteinopathies and/or motor neuron degeneration. The invention also so relates to an isolated spinal cord motor neuron differentiated from an embryonic stem cell (ESC) that is obtained from an offspring of a genetically modified mouse according to the invention. Methods for identifying an agent alleviating and/or suppressing ALS-TDP pathogenesis are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Disulfide-Isomerase A4 (PDIA4) inhibitors and use thereof for inhibiting pancreatic β-cell pathogenesis and treating diabetes are disclosed. Drug candidates that inhibit PDIA4 with IC50 values ranging from 4 μM to 300 nM are identified. The compounds are highly active in augmenting insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. The representative compound No. 8 (4,5-dimethoxy-2-propiolamidobenzoic acid), alone or in combination with metformin, is effective in preserving pancreatic β-cell function, treating and/or reversing, returning blood glucose concentration to a normal level in a diabetic.
