Phagocytosis-driven neurodegeneration through opposing roles of an ABC transporter in neurons and phagocytes

Xinchen Chen, Bei Wang, Ankita Sarkar, Zixian Huang, Nicolas Vergara Ruiz, Ann T Yeung, Rachael Chen, Chun Han

This study shows that the Drosophila ABCA protein Eato regulates neurodegeneration by opposing roles in neurons and phagocytes, affecting phagocytosis through suppression of phosphatidylserine signals.
