TGF-β Signaling Regulates Neuronal C1q Expression and Developmental Synaptic Refinement [PDF]
Immune molecules, including complement proteins C1q and C3, have emerged as critical mediators of synaptic refinement and plasticity. Complement localizes to synapses and refines the developing visual system via C3-dependent microglial phagocytosis of ...
