Microglial reactivity and nodule formation are associated with Synaptodendritic damage in the brains of people with HIV‐1

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
Despite effective ART, neurocognitive impairment persists in people with HIV. Brains from PWH present exacerbated microgliosis and formation of microglial nodules that are actively engaged in neuronal phagocytosis, resulting in neuronal injury and dendritic loss.

Silent pressure: Unveiling spinal lymphoma in horses and its parallels to other species

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Though the nervous system is an uncommon location for lymphoma, the disease should remain a differential diagnosis in some cases of ataxia in equids. Diagnosis of lymphoma can be challenging, although a combination of cytology, histopathology and immunophenotyping can aid in definitive diagnosis and therefore more accurately guide treatment and
