Estrogens, Neuroinflammation, and Neurodegeneration [PDF]

open access: yesEndocrine Reviews, 2016
Inflammatory activation of microglia is a hallmark of several disorders of the central nervous system. In addition to protecting the brain against inflammatory insults, microglia are neuroprotective and play a significant role in maintaining neuronal connectivity, but the prolongation of an inflammatory status may limit the beneficial functions of ...

Microglial CD300f immune receptor contributes to the maintenance of neuron viability in vitro and after a penetrating brain injury

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Emerging evidences suggest that immune receptors participate in diverse microglial and macrophage functions by regulating their immunometabolism, inflammatory phenotype and phagocytosis. CD300f, a TREM2-like lipid sensing immune receptor, that integrates

Structural and Functional Alterations in Visual Pathway After Optic Neuritis in MOG Antibody Disease: A Comparative Study With AQP4 Seropositive NMOSD

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2021
Background: Optic neuritis (ON) is an important clinical manifestation of neuromyelitis optic spectrum disease (NMOSD). Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-related and aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibody-related ON show different disease patterns.

Menopause leads to elevated expression of macrophage-associated genes in the aging frontal cortex: rat and human studies identify strikingly similar changes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BACKGROUND The intricate interactions between the immune, endocrine and central nervous systems shape the innate immune response of the brain. We have previously shown that estradiol suppresses expression of immune genes in the frontal cortex of ...
