Dominika Pilat, PhD, and Ana Griciuc, PhD, of the Department of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital are the lead and senior authors of a paper published in Neuron, "The Gain-of-Function ...
Abnormal microglial energy metabolism in AD. Translocation of Aβ into microglial mitochondria by the outer membrane translocase (TOM) impairs mitochondrial function and inhibits phagocytosis. TREM2 ...
Researchers analyzed thousands of microglia from different brain regions of deceased patients who had been diagnosed with a variety of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. Their results ...
In a recent study published in Cell, researchers examined 152,459 microglial transcriptomes from 443 individuals, identifying 12 transcriptional states and their relationship to Alzheimer's disease ...
In diseases driven by dysfunctional microglia, could replacing them with healthy versions prevent, or even reverse, pathology? Yes, suggest two papers in the June 18 Neuron. Both describe how mice ...
A study by researchers from Fujita University reveals that hypernatremia enhances NFAT5 and NO production in microglia and minocycline mitigates this response. The image above is a schematic showing ...
Nestled within the plasma membrane, γ-secretase trims the ends off membrane proteins. Among its 150 known substrates, none is more famous than APP. The protease chews APPs transmembrane domain to spit ...
