Our Immunity @cp-immunity.bsky.social Cover was not selected but nothing can hold back the Microglia super-heroine when she has DGAT2-blocking beverage. #NotTheCover Read the full article in Immunity: www.cell.com/immunity/ful...
Meet M, our microglia superheroine 🦸‍♀️💥

After chugging the magical DGAT2-Stop! Kool-Aid 💊🧃, she breaks free from her lipid droplet shackles 💥💪

Supercharged, she lifts the amyloid beams 🧱 trapping neurons and saves the city of Brain 🧠🏙️!

Microglia: A super-heroine that had a DGAT2-blocking beverage (cans) so she could break the chains from lipid droplets holding her back (LD weights) and lift the amyloid load (beams) that trapped the neurons, thereby rescuing them in the aged Brain (City sign)! #NotTheCover @cp-immunity.bsky.social

Why do the brain’s professional phagocytes stop clearing amyloid in Alzheimer’s disease? Can we restore microglial superpowers & rescue dying neurons in AD? YES, by stopping DGAT2-mediated lipid droplet formation! Checkout our latest manuscript @cp-immunity.bsky.social 👇🏼

Amyloid-β induces lipid droplet-mediated microglial dysfunction via the enzyme DGAT2 in Alzheimer’s disease
Why microglia stop reducing amyloid deposits from Alzheimer’s disease (AD) brains is unknown. Prakash, Manchanda, et al. show that microglia increase their lipid droplets and lose their phagocytic cap...
