Profilin reduces aggregation and phase separation of huntingtin N-terminal fragments by preferentially binding to soluble monomers and oligomers
Huntingtin N-terminal fragments (Htt-NTFs) with expanded polyglutamine tracts form a range
of neurotoxic aggregates that are associated with Huntington's disease. Here, we show that …
