Microglial Drivers of Alzheimer's Disease Pathology: An Evolution of Diverse Participating States
ABSTRACT Microglia, the resident immune‐competent cells of the brain, become dysfunctional in Alzheimer's disease (AD), and their aberrant immune responses contribute to the accumulation of pathological proteins and neuronal injury. Genetic studies implicate microglia in the development of AD, prompting interest in developing immunomodulatory therapies

ABSTRACT Aim Podocytes, highly specialized epithelial cells located in the glomerulus of the kidney, are essential to the filtration barrier that ensures separation of blood and urine. These cells exhibit a unique architecture, characterized by an intricate network of foot processes interconnected by slit diaphragms, which serve as a critical selective

Background and Purpose Nimodipine, an L‐type voltage‐gated calcium channel blocker, is an approved cerebral vasorelaxant. We hypothesized that nimodipine attenuates the pro‐inflammatory shift in microglial phenotypes. Here, we analysed the effects of nimodipine on morphological and functional microglial phenotypes as well as their transcriptomic ...

TREM2‐Mediated Myeloid Cells Protect Against Pathological Choroidal Neovascularization
This study demonstrates that TREM2 is selectively upregulated in activated microglia and macrophages during choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Single‐cell RNA sequencing and immunostaining confirmed its enrichment in IBA1+ myeloid cells near CNV lesions. Functionally, TREM2 haploinsufficiency worsened CNV lesion size and vascular leakage.

Anti-C1q antibodies in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus treated by rituximab
AIM: To determine the time course of changes in the blood levels of antibodies (Ab) to complement component C1q (a-C1q) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) during rituximab (RTM) therapy and the association with organ injuries in SLE ...
