Taurine reduces microglia activation in the brain of aged senescence-accelerated mice by increasing the level of TREM2

Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a chronic neurodegenerative disorder, is the leading cause of dementia. Over-activated microglia is related to amyloid-beta (Aβ) and phosphorylated tau (phospho-tau) accumulation in the AD brain. Taurine is an amino acid with multiple physiological functions includ...
