Dataset for “A single Citrobacter rodentium infection in Pink1 knockout and wild-type mice leads to regional blood-brain-barrier perturbation and limited microglial activation without dopamine neuron axon terminal loss”
Immune system activation may contribute to PD development. Infection increases BBB permeability in mice, leading to brain inflammation. This suggests infections could trigger PD in genetically susceptible individuals.

Dataset for “STING dampens the unfolded protein response to enable the presentation of self-antigens on MHC-I during inflammation”
STING pathway activation impacts antigen presentation through the UPR and may be a target for therapeutic intervention in PD and autoimmune diseases.
