Multiple epidermal growth factor-like domains protein 10 (Megf10) is a type 1 transmembrane protein with multiple EGF-like extracellular domains. Megf10 is highly expressed in the brain, and plays an important role in phacocytosis of apoptotic cells. This role may be performed through the interaction of Megf10 with the ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABCA1) protein. Previous studies have suggested that Megf10 may be involved in the uptake of amyloid β peptides in the brain. Megf10 may therefore play a role Alzheimer’s disease.

It has been hypothesised that inhalational anaesthetics such as isoflurane (Iso) may trigger the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), while the gaseous anaesthetic xenon (Xe) exhibits many features of a putative neuroprotective agent. Loss of synapses is regarded as one
Microglia sculpt developing neural circuits by eliminating excess synapses in a process called synaptic pruning, by removing apoptotic neurons, and by promoting neuronal survival. To elucidate the role of microglia during embryonic and postnatal brain development, we used a mouse

Microglia are the principal phagocytes that clear cell debris in the central nervous system (CNS). This raises the question, which cells remove cell debris when microglial phagocytic activity is impaired. We addressed this question using Siglechdtr mice, which enable highly
