MerTK mediates the immunologically silent uptake of alpha-synuclein fibrils by human microglia

M.-F. Dorion, K. Senkevich, M. Yaqubi, N. W. Kieran, C. X.- Q. Chen, A. MacDonald, W. Luo, A. Wallis, I. Shlaifer, J. Hall, R. W. R. Dudley, I. A. Glass, Birth Defects Research Laboratory, J. A. Straton, E. A. Fon, , L. M. Healy

This study shows MerTK mediates microglial uptake of alpha-synuclein fibrils without triggering inflammation and links MERTK variants to Parkinson's disease.

Vitamin D regulates MerTK-dependent phagocytosis in human myeloid cells

J. Clarke, M. Yaqubi, N. C. Futhey, S. Sedaghat, C. Baufeld, M. Blain, S. Baranzini, O. Butovsky, J. Antel, J. H. White, L. M. Healy

This study shows that vitamin D reduces MerTK expression in myeloid cells, inhibiting phagocytosis and potentially reducing inflammation in multiple sclerosis.
