Abstract excerpt
Microglia are the brain's resident immune cells, essential for homeostasis and implicated in common neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease (PD), where their early activation and sustained inflammatory mediator release contribute to neuronal loss. However, their role in rare disorders is unclear. β-propeller protein-associated neurodegeneration (BPAN), caused by WDR45 mutations, shares...
