Glial Purinergic Signaling in Neurodegeneration
Frontiers in Neurology, 2021 Purinergic signaling regulates neuronal and glial cell functions in the healthy CNS. In neurodegenerative diseases, purinergic signaling becomes dysregulated and can affect disease-associated phenotypes of glial cells. In this review, we discuss how cell-

Brain region- and sex-specific transcriptional profiles of microglia
Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2022 Microglia are resident macrophages of the brain, performing roles related to brain homeostasis, including modulation of synapses, trophic support, phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and debris, as well as brain protection and repair.

Modeling Microglia Activation and Inflammation-Based Neuroprotectant Strategies During Ischemic Stroke [PDF]
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology 83 (2021) 72, 2020 Neural inflammation immediately follows the onset of ischemic stroke. During this process, microglial cells can be activated into two different phenotypes: the M1 phenotype, which can worsen brain injury by producing pro-inflammatory cytokines; or the M2 phenotype, which can aid in long term recovery by producing anti-inflammatory cytokines.

The role of microglia in Alzheimer's disease and progress of treatment
Ibrain, 2022 Microglia are permanent immune cells of the central nervous system. Microglia play an important role in the pathological process of Alzheimer's disease (AD). They are mainly involved in the uptake and clearance of amyloid‐β (Aβ), as well as the formation

Detection of Synaptic Proteins in Microglia by Flow Cytometry
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2020 A growing body of evidence indicates that microglia actively remove synapses in vivo, thereby playing a key role in synaptic refinement and modulation of brain connectivity.

Microglia actively regulate the number of functional synapses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Microglia are the immunocompetent cells of the central nervous system. In the physiological setting, their highly motile processes continually survey the local brain parenchyma and transiently contact synaptic elements.

Expression and role of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 in high glucose-treated microglia [PDF]
Jichu yixue yu linchuangObjective To explore the expression of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) in high-glucose microglia and to investigate the role of TREM2 in the proliferation, migration and phagocytosis of high-glucose microglia.
