Loss of Insulin Signaling in Microglia Impairs Cellular Uptake of Aβ and Neuroinflammatory Response Exacerbating Alzheimer-like Neuropathology
2024-08-23
Abstract excerpt
Insulin receptors are present on cells throughout the body, including the brain. Dysregulation of insulin signaling in neurons and astrocytes has been implicated in altered mood, cognition, and the pathogenesis of Alzheimers disease (AD). To define the role of insulin signaling in microglia, the primary phagocytes in brain critical for maintenance and damage repair, we created mice with an inducible microglia-spec...
