“Together, these results suggest that microglia are being activated by human neuron–produced APOE4 and, in turn, are ...

Microglia affect the density of neuronal connections. Microglial cells (stained in green), the immune cells of the mouse brain, send branches into areas with many neuronal connections (stained blue).

Research from the College of Medicine provides promising insights into delaying the progression of Alzheimer’s disease for ...
