Prion-like transmission of neuronal huntingtin aggregates to phagocytic glia in the Drosophila brain
The brain has a limited capacity to self-protect against protein aggregate-associated pathology, and mounting evidence supports a role for phagocytic glia in this process. We have established a Drosophila model to investigate the role of phagocytic glia in clearance of neuronal mutant huntingtin (Ht...
