The ZNF148-ZEB1-AS1-IGF2BP2-NOD2 Axis Drives Microglial Antipneumococcal Immunity in Bacterial Meningitis. [PDF]

Glia
ZNF148 upregulates ZEB1‐AS1, which scaffolds IGF2BP2 to stabilize NOD2 mRNA, enhancing microglial anti‐pneumococcal immunity via cytokine production and bacterial clearance in bacterial meningitis. ABSTRACT Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) meningitis remains a lethal central nervous system (CNS) infection with limited therapies. This study identifies the

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.
