The Hsc70 disaggregation machinery removes monomer units directly from α-synuclein fibril ends

Using microfluidic diffusional sizing, the authors show that the molecular chaperone family Hsp70 (specifically Hsc70, DnaJB, and Apg2) can completely dissolve alpha-synuclein aggregation and revert it back to its monomeric state.
