The impact of hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) and voltage-gated potassium KCNQ/Kv7 channels on primary microglia function

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2020
Background Microglia are essential to maintain cell homeostasis in the healthy brain and are activated after brain injury. Upon activation, microglia polarize towards different phenotypes.

Comparing the Characteristics of Microglia Preparations Generated Using Different Human iPSC-Based Differentiation Methods to Model Neurodegenerative Diseases

ASN Neuro, 2022
As the resident immune cells of the healthy nervous system, homeostatic microglia can rapidly become activated in response to injury/disease. Dysregulated microglia activation is a hallmark of nervous system disorders including neurodegenerative diseases

Microglia morphophysiological diversity and its implications for the CNS

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Microglia are mononuclear phagocytes of mesodermal origin that migrate to the central nervous system (CNS) during the early stages of embryonic development.

Developmental Apoptosis Promotes a Disease-Related Gene Signature and Independence from CSF1R Signaling in Retinal Microglia

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Microglia have important remodeling functions in neurodevelopment, aging, and disease, with evidence for molecular diversity. However, the signaling pathways and environmental cues that drive diverse states of microglia are incompletely ...

CXCL16/CXCR6 axis drives microglia/macrophages phenotype in physiological conditions and plays a crucial role in glioma [PDF]

, 2018
Microglia are patrolling cells that sense changes in the brain microenvironment and respond acquiring distinct phenotypes that can be either beneficial or detrimental for brain homeostasis.

The semantics of microglia activation: neuroinflammation, homeostasis, and stress

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2021
Microglia are emerging as critical regulators of neuronal function and behavior in nearly every area of neuroscience. Initial reports focused on classical immune functions of microglia in pathological contexts, however, immunological concepts from these ...

Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 Overexpression Inhibits Proinflammatory Cytokines in Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated Microglia

Mediators of Inflammation, 2017
Microglia play an important role in mediating inflammatory processes in the central nervous system (CNS). Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) is a microglia-specific receptor and could decrease neuropathology in Alzheimer’s disease ...

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

PLoS ONE, 2013
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.

NADPH oxidase as a therapeutic target in Alzheimer\u27s disease [PDF]

, 2008
At present, available treatments for Alzheimer\u27s disease (AD) are largely unable to halt disease progression. Microglia, the resident macrophages in the brain, are strongly implicated in the pathology and progressively degenerative nature of AD ...

Microglia in Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration: From Understanding to Therapy

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Microglia are the resident macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS) acting as the first line of defense in the brain by phagocytosing harmful pathogens and cellular debris. Microglia emerge from early erythromyeloid progenitors of the yolk sac and
