Small Molecule Binding to Alzheimer Risk Factor CD33 Promotes Aβ Phagocytosis

Small Molecule Binding to Alzheimer Risk Factor CD33 Promotes Aβ Phagocytosis

Summary: Polymorphism in the microglial receptor CD33 gene has been linked to late-onset Alzheimer disease (AD), and reduced expression of the CD33 sialic acid-binding domain confers protection. Thus, CD33 inhibition might be an effective therapy against disease progression. Progress toward discover...
