Loss of microglial SIRPα promotes synaptic pruning in preclinical models of neurodegeneration

Microglial SIRPα regulates synaptic pruning during development. Its role in neurodegeneration is unclear. Here, the authors show microglial SIRPα declines in the model of Alzheimer’s disease, leading to excessive microglia mediated synapse elimination as well as impaired cognitive function.
