Inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome with MCC950 promotes non-phlogistic clearance of amyloid-β and cognitive function in APP/PS1 mice
Highlights • The small molecule inhibitor of the inflammasome, MC950, attenuates Aβ+LPS-induced inflammasome activation in microglia. • It increases phagocytosis of Aβ by microglia in vitro. • Oral administration of MC950, reduces Aβ accumulation in APP/PS1 mice. • This is accompanied by improved co...
