Astrocytic ablation of truncated TrkB receptors reduces amyloid plaques and prevents synaptic loss in 5xFAD mice
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is essential for nervous system development and function and exerts its effects primarily through the tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB). The Ntrk2 gene encodes a full-length receptor (TrkB.FL) and two truncated isoforms (TrkB.T1 and TrkB.T2, collectively TrkB.T) that lack the intracellular tyrosine kinase domain. TrkB.T is expressed predominantly in…
