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.

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.

Microglia subtypes show substrate- and time-dependent phagocytosis preferences and phenotype plasticity

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Microglia are phagocytosis-competent CNS cells comprising a spectrum of subtypes with beneficial and/or detrimental functions in acute and chronic neurodegenerative disorders. The heterogeneity of microglia suggests differences in phagocytic activity and

Single-cell transcriptomics of the ventral posterolateral nucleus-enriched thalamic regions from HSV-1-infected mice reveal a novel microglia/microglia-like transcriptional response

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2022
Background Microglia participate in the immune response upon central nervous system (CNS) infections. However, the role of these cells during herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) has not been fully characterized.

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.

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

Potential of activated microglia as a source of dysregulated extracellular microRNAs contributing to neurodegeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]

, 2020
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common form of motor neuron degeneration in adults, and several mechanisms underlying the disease pathology have been proposed.
