Neuroprotective properties of Hsp90 inhibitor NXD30001 in a primary culture model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Protein misfolding and aggregation are important features in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Upregulation of protein chaperones (heat shock proteins; HSPs) protects against cellular stress, as well as in models of ALS. Treatment with Hsp90 inhibitors upregulates multiple HSP...
