Glial cells are functionally impaired in juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis and detrimental to neurons
Abstract The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs or Batten disease) are a group of inherited, fatal neurodegenerative disorders of childhood. In these disorders, glial (microglial and astrocyte) activation typically occurs early in disease progression and predicts where neuron loss subsequently occ...
