Abstract
Spinal cord-associated disorders are common in the elderly population; however, the mechanisms underlying spinal aging remain elusive. In a recent Nature paper, Sun et al. systemically analyzed aged spines in nonhuman primates and identified a new cluster of CHIT1-positive microglia that drives motor neuron senescence and subsequent spine aging.
