title: Alzheimer’s disease associated isoforms of human CD33 distinctively modulate microglial cell responses in 5XFAD mice
abstract: Abstract Microglia play diverse pathophysiological roles in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), with genetic susceptibility factors skewing microglial cell function to influence AD risk. CD33 is an immunomodulatory receptor associated with AD susceptibility through a single nucleotide polymorphism that modulates mRNA splicing, skewing protein expression from a long protein isoform (CD33M) to a short isoform (CD33m). Understanding how human CD33 isoforms differentially impact microglial cell function in vi
