Synaptic activity controls local exposure of an ‘eat-me’ signal via ANO3-ITPR1 signaling
2026-06-30
Abstract excerpt
Neuronal synapses are eliminated during brain development and disease through pruning by glial cells. Individual synapses are marked for engulfment by ‘eat-me’ signals, which include externalized phosphatidylserine. In apoptotic cells, phosphatidylserine externalization is driven by caspase-dependent activation of Xkr scramblases 1 and inactivation of specific flippases 2 . Localized caspase activation at neuron...
