Target ablation [removal of the olfactory bulb (OBX)] induces apoptotic death of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) and an immune response in which activation and recruitment of macrophages (ms) into the olfactory epithelium (OE) occupy a central role. Ms phagocytose apoptotic neurons and secrete cytokines/growth factors that regulate subsequent progenitor cell proliferation and neurogenesis. Scavenger receptor A (SR-A) is a pattern recognition receptor that mediates binding of ms to apoptotic cel ...[more]
