Perivascular SPP1 Mediates Microglial Engulfment of Synapses in Alzheimer’s Disease Models
2022-04-05
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Microglia are phagocytes of the brain parenchyma, where they interact with neurons to engulf synapses in a context-dependent manner. Genetic studies in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) highlight dysfunctional phagocytic signaling in myeloid cells as disease-associated pathway. In AD models, there is a region-specific reactivation of microglia-synapse phagocytosis involving complement; however, what drive...
