Neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative disorders: the roles of microglia and astrocytes
Neuroinflammation is associated with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Microglia and astrocytes are key regulators of inflammatory responses in the central nervous system. The

Microglia regulate central nervous system myelin growth and integrity
Resident microglia in the central nervous system are identified as the specific macrophage population that regulates myelin growth and integrity. Myelin is required for the function of neuronal axons in the central nervous system, but the mechanisms that

Microglia are tissue-resident macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS). In the CNS, microglia play an important role in the monitoring and intervention of synaptic and neuron-level activities.

Epilepsy is one of most common chronic neurological disorders, and the antiseizure medications developed by targeting neurocentric mechanisms have not effectively reduced the proportion of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Further exploration of the cellular or molecular mechanism of epilepsy is expected to provide new options for treatment ...

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

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 ...

Microglia ferroptosis is regulated by SEC24B and contributes to neurodegeneration
Iron dysregulation has been implicated in multiple neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s disease (PD). Iron-loaded microglia are frequently found in affected brain regions, but how iron accumulation influences microglia physiology and ...

Microglia--the macrophage equivalent of the CNS--safeguards and supports neuronal functions. Threats to the CNS homeostasis can trigger a rapid transformation of these cells from a normally "resting" into alerted and "activated" states. Microglia primarily serves the tissue defence and protection when participating in mechanisms of innate and adaptive ...

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.

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.
