Abstract excerpt
Recent human genetic studies have challenged long standing hypotheses about the chain of events in Alzheimer's disease (AD), as the identification of genetic risk factors in microglial genes supports a causative role for microglia in the disease. Parallel transcriptome and histology studies at the single-cell level revealed a rich palette of microglial states affected by disease status and genetic risk factors....
