Loss of Adaptive DNA Breaks in Alzheimer’s Disease Brains
2023-12-12
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> DNA breaks accumulate in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) brains. While their role as true genomic lesions is recognized, DNA breaks also support cognitive function by facilitating the expression of activity-dependent immediate early genes (IEGs). This process involves TOP2B, a DNA topoisomerase that catalyzes the formation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). <h4>Objective</h4> To characterize how AD...
