Abstract

The article discusses a study which showed that targeting of the central ataxia telangiectasia-mutated-checkpoint kinase-2 (ATM-Chk2) pathway regulating the response to double-strand breaks slows neural decline in Drosophila models of chronic neurodegeneration. Results show that Chk2 inhibitor, prexasertib, represents a treatment option to promote functional recovery after spinal cord or optic nerve injury. Also cited are the neuroprotective effects of prexasertib and the experimental design.
