Identification of novel small molecule chaperone activators for neurodegenerative disease treatment

Anita K Ho, Fiona Jeganathan, Magda Bictash, Han-Jou Chen

This study identifies potential small molecule chaperone activators for neurodegenerative disease by screening compounds that disrupt HSF1-HSP90 interaction and reduce TDP-43 accumulation.
