Microglial double stranded DNA accumulation induced by DNase II deficiency drives neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration

Journal of Neuroinflammation
Background Deoxyribonuclease 2 (DNase II) is pivotal in the clearance of cytoplasmic double stranded DNA (dsDNA). Its deficiency incurs DNA accumulation in cytoplasm, which is a hallmark of multiple neurodegenerative diseases.
