Connexin43 hemichannel blockade turns microglia neuroprotective and mitigates cognitive deficits in a mouse model of amyloidosis
Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the leading cause of senile dementia, lacks effective therapies. While microglia are central to AD pathology, key therapeutic targets remain unclear. Here we identify microglial connexin43 (Cx43) hemichannels as a regulator of microglial reactivity in AD, positioni...
