Engulfment by brain macrophages in a short-lived vertebrate

2026-04-29

Abstract excerpt

Engulfment by macrophages is critical for waste clearance in the vertebrate brain. Understanding clearance mechanisms may open new therapeutic possibilities to counter brain aging and neurodegenerative diseases. However, few in vivo models exist to study engulfment in the brain and characterize this process during aging and across species. Here we present a genetic model for secretion of a fluorescent protein by...
