Description

The study shows ECM remodeling enhances astrocytic autophagy-lysosome function and Aβ clearance, but the specific signaling pathways connecting ECM changes to autophagy activation remain unexplained. Understanding this mechanism is crucial for developing targeted ECM-based AD therapeutics.
