Homeostatic microglia initially seed and activated microglia later reshape amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s Disease

Abstract The role of microglia in the amyloid cascade of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is debated due to conflicting findings. Using a genetic and a pharmacological approach we demonstrate that depletion of microglia before amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque deposition, leads to a reduction in plaque numbers and neur...
