Methods and uses are disclosed herein. A method of treating a disease or disorder associated with improper protein folding within one or more of a subject's cells may include administering an effective amount of a treatment compound into the subject. The treatment compound includes buthionine sulfoximine. The treatment compound provides improved redox conditions to enhance the unfolded protein response and the degradation of protein aggregation. The buthionine sulfoximine may decrease cellular glutathione to achieve the desired oxidative milieu, but not to the extent where cellular toxicity occurs.
