Persistent DNA damage promotes microglial dysfunction in Ataxia-telangiectasia
2021-06-02
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The autosomal recessive genome instability disorder Ataxia-telangiectasia, caused by mutations in ATM kinase, is characterised by the progressive loss of cerebellar neurons. We find that DNA damage associated with ATM loss results in dysfunctional behaviour of human microglia, immune cells of the central nervous system. Microglial dysfunction is mediated by the pro-inflammatory RELB/p52 non-cano...
