Microbial pathogens induce neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease mice: protection by microglial regulation
Abstract Background Neurodegeneration is considered the consequence of misfolded proteins’ deposition. Little is known about external environmental effects on the neurodegenerative process. Infectious agent-derived pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) activate microglia, key players in neu...
