Progranulin gene delivery reduces plaque burden and synaptic atrophy in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease
24 Aug 2017
Abstract excerpt
Progranulin (PGRN) is a multifunctional protein that is widely expressed throughout the brain, where it has been shown to act as a critical regulator of CNS inflammation and also functions as an autocrine neuronal growth factor, important for long-term neuronal survival. PGRN has been shown to activate cell signaling pathways regulating excitoxicity, oxidative stress, and synaptogenesis, as well as...
