Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene cause familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS). Intracytoplasmic aggregate formation consisting of mutant SOD1 is the histological hallmark of FALS. Since a previous report revealed that Hsp70 reduced aggregate formation and cell death in a cell model of FALS, here we examined the combined effects of Hsp70 and its cofactor, Hsp40, on a cell model of FALS....
