Integrated morphological, multi-omics, and functional profiling reveals microglial plasticity driven by AD risk genes
It is shown that depletion of these AD risk genes disrupts baseline morpho-transcriptomic coupling and fundamentally alters microglial phagocytic capacity, revealing how AD GWAS genes may drive microglia into dysfunctional states characterized by altered morphology, distinct multi-omic signatures, and impaired function...
