Formation and maintenance of Alzheimer's disease β-amyloid plaques in the absence of microglia
Open accessAbstract
In Alzheimer's disease, microglia cluster around beta-amyloid deposits, suggesting that these cells are important for amyloid plaque formation, maintenance and/or clearance. We crossed two distinct APP transgenic mouse strains with CD11b-HSVTK mice, in which nearly complete ablation of microglia was achieved for up to 4 weeks after ganciclovir application. Neither amyloid plaque formation and maintenance nor amyloid-associated neuritic dystrophy depended on the presence of microglia.

“it remains unclear to what extent microglia are capable of removing amyloid from pre-existing fibrillar congophilic plaques (Stalder et al., 2001) or of preventing the deposition of smaller protofibrillar Aβ aggregates (Grathwohl et al., 2009).”

“Previous in vivo results range from showing that microglia are effective at phagocytosis of fibrillar amyloid (Frautschy et al., 1991; Bacskai et al., 2002; Bolmont et al., 2008) to suggesting that microglia play no role in the control of amyloid deposition (Grathwohl et al., 2009).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
