Abstract excerpt
Microglia play a major role in the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease, where they regulate both α-synuclein (αSyn) aggregate clearance and inflammatory responses. Interferon gamma (IFNγ) is a strong immunomodulator, but its role in shaping human microglial phenotypes during αSyn exposure remains incompletely understood. Further, whether the secreted factors from microglia after exposure to αSyn pre-formed...
