DNA damage burden causes selective CUX2 neuron loss in neuroinflammation

Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10310-3

DNA damage burden and inadequate repair in CUX2+ cortical layer 2/3 excitatory neurons contributes to selective vulnerability in neuroinflammatory injury.

Expansion of outer cortical CUX2 neurons requires adaptations for DNA repair

Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10290-4

The transcription factor ATF4 is shown to regulate double-stranded DNA repair within vulnerable CUX2+ upper-layer 2/3 cortical neurons, enabling their survival during development.
