“Our group is identifying CD33 receptor-related signalling pathways in microglia and analysing the function of human microglial CD33.”

2) Publication shows in an animal model of retinal laser lesion that local application of soluble polysialic acid inhibits phagocytes and protects from vascular damage via the CD33-related SIGLEC11 receptor."
"Polysialic acid blocks mononuclear phagocyte reactivity, inhibits complement activation, and protects from vascular damage in the retina."

3) Publication demonstrates in culture that the CD33-related Siglec-E receptor turns down the neurotoxic oxidative burst of murine microglia.
