Iniulat ng AI Larawang ginawa ng AI Fact checked
A study published November 5 in Nature reports that a small subset of microglia marked by low PU.1 and expression of the receptor CD28 can dampen neuroinflammation and curb amyloid pathology in Alzheimer’s models, pointing to microglia-focused immunotherapy. The work draws on mouse experiments, human cells, and analyses of human brain tissue.
