In vitro models of microglia: a comparative study

Scientific Reports
Microglia perform key homeostatic functions to protect the central nervous system (CNS). However, in many brain disorders their protective functions are abrogated, contributing to disease progression.

What microglia depletion approaches tell us about the role of microglia on synaptic function and behavior

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022
Microglia are dynamic cells, constantly surveying their surroundings and interacting with neurons and synapses. Indeed, a wealth of knowledge has revealed a critical role of microglia in modulating synaptic transmission and plasticity in the developing ...

Regional microglia are transcriptionally distinct but similarly exacerbate neurodegeneration in a culture model of Parkinson\u27s disease. [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Parkinson\u27s disease (PD) is characterized by selective degeneration of dopaminergic (DA) neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SN) while neighboring ventral tegmental area (VTA) DA neurons are relatively spared.

The Associations Between Chronic Active Lesions and White Matter Disease: A 7 Tesla Imaging Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The relationship between paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs) and surrounding normally appearing white matter (NAWM) disease, potentially contributory to the associations seen between PRLs and clinical impairment, is underexplored. Objectives To assess whether PRLs correlate with a greater degree of NAWM injury in early MS.

Microglia from neurogenic and non-neurogenic regions display differential proliferative potential and neuroblast support

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014
Microglia isolated from the neurogenic subependymal zone (SEZ) and hippocampus (HC) are capable of massive in vitro population expansion that is not possible with microglia isolated from non-neurogenic regions.

Plasma Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Correlates With Brain Metal Burden in Wilson's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Neuroinflammation driven by extracellular copper contributes to neuronal damage in Wilson's disease (WD). This study investigated the relationship between brain metal burden and peripheral neuroinflammation markers in WD. Methods We conducted a cross‐sectional study involving 89 participants, including patients with WD (n = 63 ...

Zika virus infection reprograms global transcription of host cells to allow sustained infection. [PDF]

, 2017
Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging virus causally linked to neurological disorders, including congenital microcephaly and Guillain-Barré syndrome. There are currently no targeted therapies for ZIKV infection.

Longitudinal Study of Salivary Biomarkers in the Definition of Clinico‐Molecular Progression of Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Longitudinal changes in salivary biomarkers in Parkinson’s disease (PD) from early (T0) to 4‐year follow‐up (T1), quantified by ELISA: oligomeric and total α‐synuclein, total and phosphorylated tau, MAP1LC3B (autophagy), and TNFa (inflammation). Blue arrows indicate direction of change at T1 vs T0 (up = increase; down = decrease).

Human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived microglia integrate into mouse retina and recapitulate features of endogenous microglia

eLife
Microglia exhibit both maladaptive and adaptive roles in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases and have emerged as a cellular target for central nervous system (CNS) disorders, including those affecting the retina.
