ExploratoryAlzheimer's diseaseSIRPαhuman brain tissueproposed
This experiment analyzed human brain tissue from patients with Alzheimer's disease to examine microglial SIRPα expression levels across different stages of disease progression. The researchers used human tissue samples to determine whether SIRPα expression in microglia changes during the course of Alzheimer's disease, providing translational relevance to their mouse model findings.
PRIMARY OUTCOME
microglial SIRPα expression levels
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
Declining microglial SIRPα expression with Alzheimer's disease progression
SUCCESS CRITERIA
Significant correlation between reduced SIRPα expression and disease progression
PROTOCOL
Analysis of microglial SIRPα expression in human brain tissue samples from Alzheimer's disease patients at different disease stages
