Tracking tau fibrillogenesis and consequent primary phagocytosis of neurons mediated by microglia in a living tauopathy model

Hiroyuki Takuwa, Asumi Orihara, Yuhei Takado…·Makoto Higuchi

This study tracks tau fibrillogenesis and microglial phagocytosis of neurons in a living tauopathy model, showing that microglia engulf tangle-bearing neurons and that TSPO ligands can reduce this process.
