Super-resolution imaging reveals α-synuclein seeded aggregation in SH-SY5Y cells

Jason Sang et al. use super-resolution microscopy to monitor α-synuclein aggregation and uptake in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. Their results suggest that cells secrete nanoscopic aggregates in response to disruption of protein homeostasis by these α-synuclein seeds, and may represent a protective r...

description Jason Sang et al. use super-resolution microscopy to monitor α-synuclein aggregation and uptake in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. Their results suggest that cells secrete nanoscopic aggregates in response to disruption of protein homeostasis by these α-synuclein seeds, and may represent a protective response by cells to protein aggregation.
