Research progress on the role of microglia efferocytosis in Alzheimer's disease
Microglia efferocytosis,the process by which microglia phagocytose damaged and dead cells,has anti-inflammatory and pro-damage repair effects.Recent studies have shown that microglia efferocytosis plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease(AD)and may be a novel therapeutic target for AD.This paper reviews the relationship between microglia efferocytosis and AD pathogenesis and the potential of using efferocytosis-related molecules as therapeutic targets for AD.The aim of this review is to provide new ideas and approaches for the treatment of AD.
