A secretory protein neudesin regulates splenic red pulp macrophages in erythrophagocytosis and iron recycling

Abstract Neudesin, originally identified as a neurotrophic factor, has primarily been studied for its neural functions despite its widespread expression. Using 8-week-old neudesin knockout mice, we elucidated the role of neudesin in the spleen. The absence of neudesin caused mild splenomegaly, short...
