Exploratory Score: 0.900 Price: $0.50 Alzheimer's disease microglia (in vivo and in vitro) Status: proposed

What This Experiment Tests

Exploratory experiment designed to discover new patterns targeting Piezo1 in microglia (in vivo and in vitro). Primary outcome: microglial Piezo1 activation

Description

This experiment investigated the cellular mechanisms by which bacterial extracellular vesicles activate microglia, focusing on the Piezo1 mechanosensitive ion channel. The study examined how bEVs interact with and activate microglial Piezo1, leading to downstream signaling cascades. This research was conducted using both in vivo animal models and in vitro cell culture systems to understand the molecular basis of bEV-induced microglial activation and its role in neuroinflammation.
