Polyglutamine aggregation in the C. elegans nervous system is driven by stochastic nucleation events

Vera van Schijndel, Jorieke Tiggelaar, Myrthe S. E. Franken…·Tessa Sinnige

This study shows polyglutamine aggregation in C. elegans neurons occurs through stochastic nucleation, independent of cellular context and ageing.

Islet amyloid polypeptide tagged with green fluorescent protein localises to mitochondria and forms filamentous aggregates in Caenorhabditis elegans

Mehmet Akdag, Vera van Schijndel, Tessa Sinnige

This study shows IAPP-GFP localizes to mitochondria and forms filamentous aggregates in C. elegans, suggesting potential as a tool for screening IAPP-solubilizing compounds for T2D therapy.
