Brain cells release calreticulin that attracts and activates microglia, and inhibits amyloid beta aggregation and neurotoxicity

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Kyle M. Reid from the Department of Biochemistry, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom have published the research work: Brain Cells Release Calreticulin That Attracts and Activates Microglia, and Inhibits Amyloid Beta Aggregation and Neurotoxicity, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
  • what: It is not known whether extracellular calreticulin can recruit and activate microglia, so the authors aimed to test this here.

SUMMARY

    Calreticulin is a highly-conserved chaperone that is constitutively expressed in virtually all mammalian cell-types. During conditions of apoptosis or ER stress, calreticulin can be translocated to the . . .
