Abstract excerpt
Spinocerebellar ataxia 1 (SCA1), one of the inherited polyglutamine neurodegenerative diseases, is associated with intracellular aggregates. However, the process of aggregate formation and the factors that influence aggregation remain unclear. Here, we show that oxidative stimuli and alteration of the cellular redox state significantly affect aggregation and cell death in cells expressing mutant ataxin-1, the SCA...
