Neurons Use Microglia to Remove Internal Cellular Waste via Skoupocytosis

Neurons Use Microglia to Remove Internal Cellular Waste via Skoupocytosis

Audio narration · Coming soon

Researchers have identified a new process called skoupocytosis, where neurons recruit microglia, the brain's immune cells, to remove cellular waste that neurons cannot manage on their own. This discovery sheds light on a novel mechanism of cellular maintenance within the nervous system.
