Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to investigate the microglia-driven apoptosis and the Aβ deposits triggered generation of new microglial cells in the neocortex of TgCRND8 mice. Three- and seven-month-old TgCRND8 mice, displaying an early and widespread amyloid deposition, respectively, were used. In 7-month-old TgCRND8 mice the Aβ-associated glial reaction was accompanied by an intense immunoreactivity of both...
