Aged lipid‐laden microglia display impaired responses to stroke [PDF]
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2022 Microglial cells of the aged brain manifest signs of dysfunction that could contribute to the worse neurological outcome of stroke in the elderly. Treatment with colony‐stimulating factor 1 receptor antagonists enables transient microglia depletion that ...

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-

In-Depth Molecular Profiling Specifies Human Retinal Microglia Identity
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Microglia are the tissue-resident macrophages of the retina and brain, being critically involved in organ development, tissue homeostasis, and response to cellular damage.

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.

Physiological Reviews, 2011 Microglial cells are the resident macrophages in the central nervous system. These cells of mesodermal/mesenchymal origin migrate into all regions of the central nervous system, disseminate through the brain parenchyma, and acquire a specific ramified morphological phenotype termed “resting microglia.” Recent studies indicate that even in the normal ...

Efficient Strategies for Microglia Replacement in the Central Nervous System
Cell Reports, 2020 Summary: Microglia are important immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS). Dysfunctions of gene-deficient microglia contribute to the development and progression of multiple CNS diseases.
