Abstract excerpt
Spinal bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is one of a family of inherited neurodegenerative diseases caused by expansion of CAG encoding polyglutamine repeats; in SBMA the affected gene is the androgen receptor. To understand further the mechanisms that lead to neuronal cell death in SBMA, we generated SHSY5Y neuroblastoma cell lines that stably express identical levels of wild-type (19 polyglutamine repeat) or SBMA...
