Cytosolic dsDNA of mitochondrial origin induces cytotoxicity and neurodegeneration in cellular and zebrafish models of Parkinson’s disease

Mitochondrial and lysosomal dysfunction are central to Parkinson’s disease (PD) pathogenesis. Here, the authors show mitochondrial dsDNA in the cytosol in cellular and Zebrafish models of PD induces cytotoxicity and neurodegeneration; knock-down of IFI16, a cytosolic dsDNA sensor, rescues cytotoxici...
