The Coupled TuFF-BFF Algorithm for Automatic 3D Segmentation of Microglia [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
We propose an automatic 3D segmentation algorithm for multiphoton microscopy images of microglia. Our method is capable of segmenting tubular and blob-like structures from noisy images. Current segmentation techniques and software fail to capture the fine processes and soma of the microglia cells, useful for the study of the microglia role in the brain

FSD-C10, a Fasudil derivative, promotes neuroregeneration through indirect and direct mechanisms. [PDF]

, 2017
FSD-C10, a Fasudil derivative, was shown to reduce severity of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS), through the modulation of the immune response and induction of neuroprotective molecules in the ...

Biomimetic Design of Biocompatible Neural Probes for Deep Brain Signal Monitoring and Stimulation: Super Static Interface for Immune Response‐Enhanced Contact

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ultrathin, flexible neural probes are developed with an innovative, biomimetic design incorporating brain tissue‐compatible materials. The material system employs biomolecule‐based encapsulation agents to mitigate inflammatory responses, as demonstrated through comprehensive in vitro and in vivo studies.

Cx3cr1-deficient microglia exhibit a premature aging transcriptome. [PDF]

, 2019
CX3CR1, one of the highest expressed genes in microglia in mice and humans, is implicated in numerous microglial functions. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying Cx3cr1 signaling are not well understood.

3D Bioprinted Coaxial Testis Model Using Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells:A Step Toward Bicompartmental Cytoarchitecture and Functionalization

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The ability of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) to model developmental processes makes them a promising source for engineering testicular tissues to study in vitro maturation and sperm production. This work describes the first hiPSC‐derived testicular model and shows that it captures functional aspects of prepubertal testicular tissues ...

Hieroglyph: Hierarchical Glia Graph Skeletonization and Matching [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Automatic 3D reconstruction of glia morphology is a powerful tool necessary for investigating the role of microglia in neurological disorders in the central nervous system. Current glia skeleton reconstruction techniques fail to capture an accurate tracing of the processes over time, useful for the study of the microglia motility and morphology in the ...

The microglial "activation" continuum: from innate to adaptive responses [PDF]

, 2005
Microglia are innate immune cells of myeloid origin that take up residence in the central nervous system (CNS) during embryogenesis. While classically regarded as macrophage-like cells, it is becoming increasingly clear that reactive microglia play more ...

Co‐Delivery of Multiple Toll‐Like Receptor Agonists and Avian Influenza Hemagglutinin on Protein Nanoparticles Enhances Vaccine Immunogenicity and Efficacy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This research highlights a novel application of protein nanoparticles to effectively modulate the strength, breadth, and bias of an immune response against influenza virus. Nanoparticles precisely co‐delivering antigen (H5) and multiple adjuvants (CpG and FliCc) present a way to improve and direct prophylactic immune responses which can be applicable ...

Microglia cannibalism and efferocytosis leads to shorter lifespans of developmental microglia.

PLoS Biology
The overproduction of cells and subsequent production of debris is a universal principle of neurodevelopment. Here, we show an additional feature of the developing nervous system that causes neural debris-promoted by the sacrificial nature of embryonic ...
