A transient inflammatory response contributes to oxaliplatin neurotoxicity in mice
Abstract Objectives Peripheral neuropathy is a relevant dose‐limiting adverse event that can affect up to 90% of oncologic patients with colorectal cancer receiving oxaliplatin treatment. The severity of neurotoxicity often leads to dose reduction or even premature cessation of chemotherapy.

The roles of microglia and ApoE in tauopathies, such as Alzheimer’s disease, remain elusive. In this issue, Shi et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20190980) demonstrate that microglia-mediated innate immunity collaborates with ApoE to drive neurodegeneration and disease progression in a mouse model of tauopathy.

Modeling Microglia Activation and Inflammation-Based Neuroprotectant Strategies During Ischemic Stroke [PDF]
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
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
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 and neuroprotection [PDF]
AbstractMicroglia were first identified over a century ago, but our knowledge about their ontogeny and functions has significantly expanded only recently. Microglia colonize the central nervous system (CNS) in utero and play essential roles in brain development.

Reformulating Pro-Oxidant Microglia in Neurodegeneration [PDF]
In neurodegenerative diseases, microglia-mediated neuroinflammation and oxidative stress are central events. Recent genome-wide transcriptomic analyses of microglial cells under different disease conditions have uncovered a new subpopulation named ...

Expression and role of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 in high glucose-treated microglia [PDF]
Objective 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.

Microglia actively regulate the number of functional synapses. [PDF]
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.

Temporary microglia-depletion after cosmic radiation modifies phagocytic activity and prevents cognitive deficits. [PDF]
Microglia are the main immune component in the brain that can regulate neuronal health and synapse function. Exposure to cosmic radiation can cause long-term cognitive impairments in rodent models thereby presenting potential obstacles for astronauts ...
