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

Rod microglia: a morphological definition. [PDF]
Brain microglial morphology relates to function, with ramified microglia surveying the micro-environment and amoeboid microglia engulfing debris. One subgroup of microglia, rod microglia, have been observed in a number of pathological conditions, however

Modulation of adult-born neurons in the inflamed hippocampus. [PDF]
Throughout life new neurons are continuously added to the hippocampal circuitry involved with spatial learning and memory. These new cells originate from neural precursors in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus, migrate into the granule cell layer,

Microglia in Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration: From Understanding to Therapy
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

Nitric oxide from inflammatory origin impairs neural stem cell proliferation by inhibiting epidermal growth factor receptor signaling [PDF]
Neuroinflammation is characterized by activation of microglial cells, followed by production of nitric oxide (NO), which may have different outcomes on neurogenesis, favoring or inhibiting this process.

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 use TAM receptors to detect and engulf amyloid beta plaques
Two microglial TAM receptor tyrosine kinases, Axl and Mer, have been linked to Alzheimer’s disease, but their roles in disease have not been tested experimentally.

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 ...

Neuroinflammation, Mast Cells, and Glia: Dangerous Liaisons [PDF]
The perspective of neuroinflammation as an epiphenomenon following neuron damage is being replaced by the awareness of glia and their importance in neural functions and disorders.

APOE4/4 is linked to damaging lipid droplets in Alzheimer’s disease microglia
Several genetic risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease implicate genes involved in lipid metabolism and many of these lipid genes are highly expressed in glial cells1.
