Microglia cells survey synapses by engulfing them
Microglial cells fulfill a variety of different tasks within the CNS mainly related to both immune response and maintaining homeostasis. The following are some of the major known functions carried out by these cells.[citation needed] Scavenging In addition to being very sensitive to small changes in their environment, each microglial cell also physically surveys itsContinue reading “Microglia cells survey synapses by engulfing them”

Klotho enzyme , calcium, insulin , Vitamin D and Alzheimer
Klotho is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the KL gene.[5] This gene encodes a type-I membrane protein that is related to β-glucuronidases. Reduced production of this protein has been observed in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF), and this may be one of the factors underlying the degenerative processes (e.g., arteriosclerosis, osteoporosis, and skin atrophy) seen inContinue reading “Klotho enzyme , calcium, insulin , Vitamin D and Alzheimer”
