scRNA-Seq reveals age-dependent microglial evolution as a determinant of immune response following spinal cord injury

Brain Research Bulletin
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a debilitating condition of the central nervous system (CNS) that leads to severe impairments in sensory and motor functions.

Microglia cannibalism and efferocytosis leads to shorter lifespans of developmental microglia.

PLoS Biology
The overproduction of cells and subsequent production of debris is a universal principle of neurodevelopment. Here, we show an additional feature of the developing nervous system that causes neural debris-promoted by the sacrificial nature of embryonic ...

The role of microglia and their CX3CR1 signaling in adult neurogenesis in the olfactory bulb

eLife, 2017
Microglia play important roles in perinatal neuro- and synapto-genesis. To test the role of microglia in these processes during adulthood, we examined the effects of microglia depletion, via treatment of mice with the CSF-1 receptor antagonist PLX5622 ...

The Neuroimmunological Nexus of Multiple Sclerosis: Deciphering the Microglial Transcriptomic Tapestry

Neuroglia
Microglia are poorly understood immune cells of the central nervous system that play a determining role in the progression of multiple sclerosis. With the advent of genomic techniques such as single-cell RNA sequencing and single-nucleus RNA sequencing ...

Microglia undergo sex-dimorphic transcriptional and metabolic rewiring during aging

Journal of Neuroinflammation
Microglia, the brain’s resident macrophages, maintain brain homeostasis and respond to injury and infection. During aging they undergo functional changes, but the underlying mechanisms and their contributions to neuroprotection versus neurodegeneration ...

Microglia target synaptic sites early during excitatory circuit disassembly in neurodegeneration

iScience
Summary: During development, microglia prune excess synapses to refine neuronal circuits. In neurodegeneration, understanding the role of microglia-mediated synaptic pruning in circuit remodeling and dysfunction is important for developing therapies ...

Subretinal microglia support donor photoreceptor survival in rd1 mice

Stem Cell Research & Therapy
Purpose To investigate the potential relationship between subretinal microglia and transplanted donor photoreceptors. Methods Photoreceptor precursors were transplanted into wild-type mice and rd1 mice by trans-scleral injection. Immunohistochemistry was
