Although the phagocytosis‐related role of CD24 in the nervous system is not yet fully established, upregulation of CD24 is found in TBI28 and in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) (a model for MS), as well as transiently, on developing neurons,29 which may suggest a potential anti‐phagocytic role of CD24 in nervous system disease. The gene discussed is CD24; the disease is experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.
