Description

Wu and co-authors report in 2024 that a protein called TBC1D15 holds back cleanup activity in microglia, the brain's immune cells, in Alzheimer's disease. Cleanup there clears amyloid plaques, but reports on its level over time conflict. Their work tracks that change and the protein's role in it. The head gives 2024 as the publication year.

Cleanup rose in three month old disease model mice, then fell by twelve months. The protein sat high in microglial lysosomes in the disease state. Silencing it cut cell swelling and amyloid uptake in a cell line, while raising cleanup pathways. A protein chain tied to lysosome swelling is proposed, and targeting the protein is offered as therapy logic.
