Conformational targeting of fibrillar polyglutamine proteins in live cells escalates aggregation and cytotoxicity.
<h4>Background</h4>Misfolding- and aggregation-prone proteins underlying Parkinson's, Huntington's and Machado-Joseph diseases, namely alpha-synuclein, huntingtin, and ataxin-3 respectively, adopt numerous intracellular conformations during pathogenesis, including globular inte...
