Clearance of peripheral nerve misfolded mutant protein by infiltrated macrophages correlates with motor neuron disease progression

Abstract Macrophages expressing C–C chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2) infiltrate the central and peripheral neural tissues of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients. To identify the functional role of CCR2+ macrophages in the pathomechanisms of ALS, we used an ALS animal model, mutant Cu/Zn sup...
