Abstract
Microglia, the brain's tissue-resident macrophages, contribute to the developmental elimination of extranumerary synapses and to pathologic synapse loss in mouse models of neurodegeneration. Two papers published in The EMBO Journal reveal that phosphatidylserine (PS) is a neuronal cue for microglial synapse elimination.Entities:
