Abstract excerpt
Progranulin (PGRN) is a neurotrophic and anti-inflammatory factor produced mainly by neurons and microglia in the central nervous system. Progranulin haploinsufficiency causes frontotemporal dementia (FTD). It is unclear to what extent neuronal versus microglial PGRN deficiency contributes to FTD pathology. In this study, we restored progranulin in neurons in progranulin knockout mice using Nestin-driven...
