Temporal Changes of CD68 and α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Expression in Microglia in Alzheimer's Disease-Like Mouse Models

Abstract
We previously reported that activated microglia are involved in amyloid-β (Aβ) clearance and that stimulation of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) in microglia enhances Aβ clearance. Nevertheless, how microglia and α7 nAChR in microglia ar
