RESEARCH MODELS Summary The App SAA mouse joins a list of knock-in models that carry a humanized Aβ sequence within the murine App gene (App knock-in (humanized Aβ), APP NL-F Knock-in, APP NL-G-F Knock-in). As in the latter two models, the App gene was further modified ...
RESEARCH MODELS Summary Rab5 is a small GTPase that regulates endosome trafficking, sorting, and fusion. Enlarged Rab5-positive endosomes are among the earliest neuropathological signs of Alzheimer’s disease and Down’s syndrome (Cataldo et al., 2000), and a body of ...

RESEARCH MODELS Summary In addition to their roles in canonical autophagy, some protein components of the autophagy machinery are involved in recycling cell-surface receptors in microglia (see Jun 2019 News). Atg16L ΔWD mice express a prematurely truncated version of the ...
RESEARCH MODELS Summary The PLCG2 gene encodes the enzyme phospholipase C gamma 2 (PLCγ2), a mediator of transmembrane signaling in microglia that acts downstream of TREM2. A rare variant in this gene, P522R, has been associated with reduced risks of Alzheimer’s disease ...
