Genotoxic and metabolic stress drive divergent senescence programs in human microglia

Microglial dysfunction is a hallmark of brain ageing linked to the accumulation of senescent microglial phenotypes that promote chronic neuroinflammation.

Microglial dysfunction is a hallmark of brain ageing linked to the accumulation of senescent microglial phenotypes that promote chronic neuroinflammation. Both genotoxic and metabolic stress have been implicated in microglial senescence; yet, whether distinct stressors shape…
