Modulation of C5a–C5aR1 signaling alters the dynamics of AD progression
BackgroundThe complement system is part of the innate immune system that clears pathogens and cellular debris. In the healthy brain, complement influences neurodevelopment and neurogenesis, synaptic pruning, clearance of neuronal blebs, recruitment of phagocytes, and protects from pathogens. However...
