Deskripsi
Progranulin (PGRN) mutations cause frontotemporal lobe dementia with TDP-43 pathology. Here the authors develop a mutant PGRN knock-in mouse model of the disease, and show that Tyro3, a tyrosine kinase membrane receptor that acts upstream of PKC and MAPK, is inhibited by PGRN which contributes to pathology in this model.
