Microglia limit the expansion of β-amyloid plaques in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease

Microglia are known as resident immune cells in the brain. β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques in the brain of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are surrounded by microglia, but whether and how microglia affect the formation and maintenance of plaques remains controversial. We depleted microglia by injecting diphtheria t... View More
