Polyglutamine-induced neurodegeneration in SCA3 is not mitigated by non-expanded ataxin-3: Conclusions from double-transgenic mouse models

A crucial question in polyQ-induced neurodegeneration is the influence of wild type protein on the formation of aggregates and toxicity. Recently it was shown that non-expanded ataxin-3 protein mitigated neurodegeneration in a Drosophila and mouse model of SCA3. We now explored the effects of overex...
