Absence of CX3CR1 impairs the internalization of Tau by microglia

Abstract Background Extracellular Tau is toxic for neighboring cells, and it contributes to the progression of AD. The CX3CL1/CX3CR1 axis is an important neuron/microglia communication mechanism. Methods We studied Tau clearance by microglia both in vitro (microglia primary cultures treated with Cy5...
