Microglia degrade Alzheimer’s amyloid-beta deposits extracellularly via digestive exophagy

Summary: How microglia digest Alzheimer’s fibrillar amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques that are too large to be phagocytosed is not well understood. Here, we show that primary microglial cells create acidic extracellular compartments, lysosomal synapses, on model plaques and digest them with exocytosed lysos...
