Mechanosensing and the Hippo Pathway in Microglia: A Potential Link to Alzheimer’s Disease Pathogenesis?

The activation of microglia, the inflammatory cells of the central nervous system (CNS), has been linked to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. How microglia sense the changing brain environment, in order to respond appropriately, is still being elucidated....
