The effect of amyloid on microglia-neuron interactions before plaque onset occurs independently of TREM2 in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease
2 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
Genetic studies identified mutations in several immune-related genes that confer increased risk for developing Alzheimer's disease (AD), suggesting a key role for microglia in AD pathology. Microglia are recruited to and actively modulate the local toxicity of amyloid plaques in models of AD through these cells' transcriptional and functional reprogramming to a disease-associated phenotype. However, it remains...
