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 ...
RESEARCH MODELS Summary App hu/hu mice carry a humanized Aβ sequence within the murine App gene. In this knock-in model, created using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, expression of App is driven by its natural promoter and is expected to show normal cell-type and temporal ...
RESEARCH MODELS Summary App hu/hu rats carry a humanized Aβ sequence within the rat App gene. In this knock-in model, created using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, expression of App is driven by its natural promoter and is expected to show normal cell-type and temporal ...
RESEARCH MODELS Summary App hu/hu;Psen1M139T +/+ rats carry a humanized Aβ sequence within the rat App gene and the AD-linked M139T mutation in the rat Psen1 gene. These knock-in animals are homozygous for both humanized App and Psen1 M139T. Levels of APP and its ...
