Neuroinflammation plays a key role in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the actions of microglial mediators may vary across stages of amyloid-beta (Aβ) pathology. While drugs targeting brain immune responses are advancing to clinical trials, biomarkers to monitor their effects are lacking. This study investigated proteins expressed by activated microglia in three mouse models of Aβ pathology and α-synuclein, both during disease progression and after treatment, to evaluate their potential as in vivo biomarkers. Immunofluorescent staining was performed on cortical sections from App Show less
