Astrocytes Restrict Access to Amyloid-β Plaques in the Aging Brain – Fight Aging!
[ad_1] Astrocytes Restrict Access to Amyloid-β Plaques in the Aging Brain Astrocytes react to the presence of extracellular amyloid-β aggregates in the aging brain by becoming more inflammatory and clustering around the aggregates of misfolded proteins. Researchers here show that this activity crowds out the microglia responsible for ingesting and breaking down these protein … Read more
