Spotlight Silva et al. show that #microglial cathepsin B is essential for clearing dying neurons during #BrainDevelopment. Loss of cathepsin B disrupts efferocytosis, impairs neural circuit formation, and alters behaviour in zebrafish and mice. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-026-70350-1#microglial

Fascinating times.. each week we learn more and more about the LC www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Research Spotlight Sasmita et al. show that #oligodendrocytes are a source of amyloid-β in #Alzheimers disease. Blocking Aβ production in oligodendrocytes reduced plaque burden by ~30%, highlighting #glia as drivers of pathology and therapeutic targets. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39103558/
