Single cell imaging and quantification of TDP-43 and α-synuclein intercellular propagation

Abstract The intercellular spreading of protein assemblies is a major factor in the progression of neurodegenerative disorders. The quantitative study and visualization of cell-to-cell propagation using tagged-proteins is challenging due to the steric effect of relatively large fluorescence tags and...
