The accumulation of insoluble protein aggregates in intra and perinuclear inclusions is a hallmark of Huntington's disease (HD) and related glutamine-repeat disorders. A central question is whether protein aggregation plays a direct role in the pathogenesis of these neurodegenerative diseases.

Extracellular senile plaques (SPs) are hallmark brain lesions of sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD) and the likely consequence of genetic mutations that cause familial AD by increasing production of amyloidogenic amyloid-beta (Abeta).

The neurotoxicity of amyloid beta (Abeta) is widely believed to play a seminal role in neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease. We examined the effect of Chrysamine G (CG) on such neurotoxicity using the specific measurement of surviving neurons. CG was found
