Not Just a Biomarker: YKL-40 Links Glial Clock to Amyloidosis
22 Dec 2020 Many people with Alzheimer’s wake up frequently at night, nap excessively during the day, and lose their sense of time. Besides sleep cycles, the circadian clock also controls astrocyte and microglia activation, and knocking out one of the core clock genes, Bmal1, hastens plaque formation and promotes neuroinflammation and synaptic damage. Now, researchers led by Erik Musiek and Brian Lananna at Washington University in St. Louis report that Bmal1 regulates the gene for YKL-40, a marker of Alzheimer’s disease. Further, deleting the YKL-40 gene, Chi3l1, alters glial inflammator...
