Abstract
A recent study published in Cell revealed that in the aging brain, the microglia-derived complement component C1q is internalized into neurons through endocytosis, integrates into ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes where it inhibits neuronal protein synthesis and alters the protein content. These findings demonstrate an unexpected intracellular function of C1q in neurons with significant implications for understanding age-related changes in brain function and potentially neurodegenerative diseases.1
