Abstract excerpt
Suboptimal cell hydration is a significant risk factor for age-related deterioration and disease vulnerability. Herein, we use a Huntington disease cell model to evaluate osmolarity-dependent modulation of (1) aggregation of polyQ-expanded mutant Huntingtin-EGFP reporter protein as a readout for structurally dynamic disease proteins versus (2) induction of HSP70 chaperone to report on stress-induced lability of...
