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

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Microglia replacement by bone marrow transplantation (Mr BMT) in the central nervous system of adult mice

open access: yesSTAR Protocols, 2021
Summary: Microglia are important immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS). Mutations in microglia may cause CNS disorders. Replacement of dysfunctional microglia with allogeneic wild-type microglia can correct the gene deficiency, thus treating ...

Microglia ferroptosis is regulated by SEC24B and contributes to neurodegeneration

open access: yesNature Neuroscience, 2022
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 ...

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).

Overview of General and Discriminating Markers of Differential Microglia Phenotypes

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020
Inflammatory processes and microglia activation accompany most of the pathophysiological diseases in the central nervous system. It is proven that glial pathology precedes and even drives the development of multiple neurodegenerative conditions.

Microglia-Mediated Neuroinflammation: A Potential Target for the Treatment of Cardiovascular Diseases

open access: yesJournal of Inflammation Research, 2022
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.

Microglia replacement by microglia transplantation (Mr MT) in the adult mouse brain

open access: yesSTAR Protocols, 2021
Summary: Mutations in microglia may cause brain disorders. Replacement of dysfunctional microglia by allogeneic wild-type microglia from bone marrow transplantation (Mr BMT) or peripheral blood can correct the gene deficiency at the brain-wide scale but ...

A Neurodegeneration-Specific Gene-Expression Signature of Acutely Isolated Microglia from an Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Mouse Model

open access: yesCell Reports, 2013
Microglia are resident immune cells of the CNS that are activated by infection, neuronal injury, and inflammation. Here, we utilize flow cytometry and deep RNA sequencing of acutely isolated spinal cord microglia to define their activation in vivo ...

Tools and Approaches for Studying Microglia In vivo

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
Microglia are specialized resident macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS) that have important functions during neurodevelopment, homeostasis and disease.
