Microglia mediate contact-independent neuronal pruning via secreted Neuraminidase-3 associated with extracellular vesicles
2023-08-21
Abstract excerpt
Neurons communicate with each other through electrochemical transmission at synapses. Microglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system, can prune these synapses through a variety of contact-dependent and -independent means. Microglial secretion of active sialidase enzymes upon exposure to inflammatory stimuli is one unexplored mechanism of pruning. Recent work from our lab showed that treatment o...
