NTSR1 and Alzheimer disease: In addition, turnover rates of microglia are increased under neurodegenerative conditions such as in the APP/PS1 mouse model for AD [containing AD risk mutations in the genes encoding for the amyloid beta precursor protein (App) and presenilin (Psen1/Psen2)] (51), unilateral facial nerve axotomy (FNX) in mice (52), and nitroreductase (NTR)-induced neurodegeneration in zebrafish larvae (55).
