Elevated inflammatory responses and targeted therapeutic intervention in a preclinical mouse model of ataxia-telangiectasia lung disease
Abstract Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is an autosomal recessive, multisystem disorder characterized by cerebellar degeneration, cancer predisposition, and immune system defects. A major cause of mortality in A-T patients is severe pulmonary disease; however, the underlying causes of the lung complica...
