By directly estimating the transport parameters from live-cell image sequences using our new computational FLIP approach surprisingly fast exchange dynamics of mutant Huntingtin between cytoplasm and dim IBs could be revealed. This is likely relevant also for other polyQ diseases. Thus, our method allows for quantifying protein dynamics at different stages of the protein aggregation process in cellular models of neurodegeneration.
