Built from the record alzhub holds for this paper, not looked up. Volume, issue and page numbers are not held in the record. The record's author list ends in “et al.”, so not every author is named. Check the citation against the original before you use it.
Why it matters
Addresses neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease. The inflammatory side of the disease is treated as something to investigate, and no treatment is tested here.
