presents, “ADGRG1/GPR56 and the brain: One molecule and multiple functions”
Hosted by:  Dr. Tristan Li

Abstract:

The adhesion G protein-coupled receptor GPR56 (also called ADGRG1) defines yolk sac-derived microglia. The talk will present our unpublished work on the protective function of microglial GPR56 in AD pathology in both Aβ (5xFAD) and tau (PS19).
