This study also indicates the important role of CXCR7 molecule in maintaining CNS homeostasis by balancing M1/M2 microglia, A1/A2 astrocytes, long term potentiation/long term depression markers which ultimately ameliorates HMGB1 induced neurodegeneration, synaptic depression and memory loss (assessed by both radial arm maze and Morris water maze) in male mice model of dementia.
