Neuronal UBE3A loss engages a TNF-driven neuron-to-microglia axis that promotes synapse remodeling

Xin Yang, Xu Zhang, Yu‐Wen Alvin Huang

This study shows that neuronal UBE3A loss triggers a TNF-driven neuron-to-microglia signaling axis that promotes synapse remodeling and microglial inflammation.
