Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Microglial cell iron load and inflammatory activation are significant hallmarks of late-stage Alzheimer’s disease (AD). <italic>In vitro</italic>, microglia preferentially upregulate the iron importer, divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1, gene name <italic>Slc11a2</italic>) in response to inflammatory stimuli, and excess iron can augment cellular inflammation, suggesting a fe...
