Systemic microbial TLR2 agonists induce neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease mice

Abstract Background Accumulating data suggest a central role for brain microglia in mediating cortical neuronal death in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and for Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) in their toxic activation. Amyloid deposition in preclinical AD is associated with microglial activation but not dire...
