1 Polyglutamine toxicity induces rod photoreceptor division, morphological transformation or death in spinocerebellar ataxia 7 mouse retina. polyglutamine ataxin 7 Mus musculus
2 To understand how neurons cope with polyQ toxicity, we studied a Spinocerebellar ataxia 7 (SCA7) mouse which expresses polyQ-expanded ATXN7 only in rod photoreceptors. polyglutamine ataxin 7 Mus musculus
3 To understand how neurons cope with polyQ toxicity, we studied a Spinocerebellar ataxia 7 (SCA7) mouse which expresses polyQ-expanded ATXN7 only in rod photoreceptors. polyglutamine ataxin 7 Mus musculus
4 We show that in response to polyQ toxicity, SCA7 rods go through a range of radically different cell fates, including apoptotic and non-apoptotic cell death, cell migration, morphological transformation into a round cell or, most remarkably, cell division. polyglutamine ataxin 7 Mus musculus
