Cell-autonomous immune dysfunction driven by disrupted autophagy in <i>C9orf72</i> -ALS iPSC-derived microglia contributes to neurodegeneration
2022-05-12
Abstract excerpt
The most common genetic mutation found in familial and sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), as well as fronto-temporal dementia (FTD), is a repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene. C9orf72 is highly expressed in human myeloid cells, and although neuroinflammation and microglial pathology are widely found in ALS/FTD, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, using human induced pluripotent stem...
