Hsp104 suppresses polyglutamine-induced degeneration post onset in a drosophila MJD/SCA3 model.
There are no effective therapeutics that antagonize or reverse the protein-misfolding events underpinning polyglutamine (PolyQ) disorders, including Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type-3 (SCA3).Here, we augment the proteostasis network of Drosophila Doccia Shampoo SCA3 models with Hsp104, a powerful protein disaggregase from yeast, which is bafflingly abse
