Neuronal Death Induced by Nanomolar Amyloid β Is Mediated by Primary Phagocytosis of Neurons by Microglia

Alzheimer disease is characterized by neuronal loss and brain plaques of extracellular amyloid β (Aβ), but the means by which Aβ may induce neuronal loss is not entirely clear. Although high concentrations of Aβ (μm) can induce direct toxicity to neurons, we find that low concentration (nm) induce n...
