Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Caused by Damaged Mitochondria and Imbalanced Protein Homeostasis in Alveolar Epithelial Type II Cell

open access: yesAdvanced Biology, EarlyView.
By systematizing a large body of evidence and propose a cascade relationship between protein homeostasis, endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and pro‐fibrotic factor, providing a theoretical basis for ATII cells dysfunction as a possible pathophysiological initiating event for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

A richer and more diverse future for microglia phenotypes

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
Microglia are the only resident innate immune cells derived from the mesoderm in the nerve tissue. They play a role in the development and maturation of the central nervous system (CNS).

Rod microglia: a morphological definition. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Brain microglial morphology relates to function, with ramified microglia surveying the micro-environment and amoeboid microglia engulfing debris. One subgroup of microglia, rod microglia, have been observed in a number of pathological conditions, however

Origin and differentiation of microglia [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2013
Microglia are the resident macrophage population of the central nervous system (CNS). Adequate microglial function is crucial for a healthy CNS. Microglia are not only the first immune sentinels of infection, contributing to both innate and adaptive immune responses locally, but are also involved in the maintenance of brain homeostasis.

A Custom Panel for Profiling Microglia Gene Expression

open access: yesCells
Despite being immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), microglia contribute to CNS development, maturation, and homeostasis, and microglia dysfunction has been implicated in several neurological disorders.

Role of the Fractalkine Receptor in CNS Autoimmune Inflammation: New Approach Utilizing a Mouse Model Expressing the Human CX3CR1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Multiple sclerosis (MS), an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) is the leading cause of non-traumatic neurological disability in young adults. Immune mediated destruction of myelin and oligodendrocytes is considered the

An updated assessment of microglia depletion: current concepts and future directions

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2017
Microglia are the principal resident immune cells in the central nervous system and are believed to be versatile players in both inflammatory and physiological contexts. On the one hand, in order to safeguard the microenvironment microglia can be rapidly
