Abstract excerpt
Microglia are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system and maintain tissue homeostasis through phagocytosis and regulation of inflammatory signalling. Although these functions are well established, the molecular mechanisms that control microglial activation during neurodegeneration remain poorly understood. We focused on the Purkinje Cell Degeneration (PCD) mouse, which carries a loss-of-function...
