TL;DR

This work situates MiET formation within the broader microglial functional repertoire and focuses on how ET-dominant responses may compromise homeostatic or neuroprotective roles, expanding the conceptual framework for microglial pathogenicity and inviting future mechanistic and translational research.

Microglial dysfunction and NLRP3 inflammasome signaling in Alzheimer’s disease: mechanistic insights into neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressively debilitating neurodegenerative condition characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ), tau pathology, synaptopathy, and neuron loss. Recent studies suggest that Neuroinflammation is a critical part of the disease process rather than an accompanying feature of the menti...
