It is important to investigate the sex-dependent roles of microglia in pain hypersensitivity as reactive microglia within the spinal dorsal horn (DH) have been reported to be pivotal in neuropathic pain induction in male rodents upon nerve injury.

CX3C chemokine receptor 1 deficiency modulates microglia morphology but does not affect lesion size and short-term deficits after experimental stroke [PDF]
The fractalkine/CX3C chemokine receptor 1 (CX3CR1) pathway has been identified to play an essential role in the chemotaxis of microglia, leukocyte trafficking and microglia/macrophage recruitment. It has also been shown to be important in the regulation of the inflammatory response in the early phase after experimental stroke.

Identifying chemokines as therapeutic targets in renal disease: Lessons from antagonist studies and knockout mice [PDF]
Chemokines, in concert with cytokines and adhesion molecules, play multiple roles in local and systemic immune responses. In the kidney, the temporal and spatial expression of chemokines correlates with local renal damage and accumulation of chemokine ...

Intestinal CX 3 C chemokine receptor 1 high (CX 3 CR1 high ) myeloid cells prevent T-cell-dependent colitis [PDF]
Adequate activation of CD4 + T lymphocytes is essential for host defense against invading pathogens; however, exaggerated activity of effector CD4 + T cells induces tissue damage, leading to inflammatory disorders such as inflammatory bowel diseases.

The spleen-brain axis in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias: Integrating immune and metabolic regulation. [PDF]
Abstract Emerging evidence highlights the central role of peripheral immune–metabolic regulation in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). Among peripheral organs, the spleen has gained increasing attention as a critical immune–metabolic hub linking systemic homeostasis to central neurodegeneration.
