Microglia: Senescence Impairs Clearance of Myelin Debris
2016
Summary Growing evidence highlights the crucial physiological functions of microglia that rely on their phagocytic activities, which can be compromised with age. A new study reports the impaired clearance of myelin debris by microglia in the brain, leading to insoluble lysosomal inclusions and contributing to the immune dysfunction and senescence of these cells.
