Decoding Mast Cell-Microglia Communication in Neurodegenerative Diseases

Jagdeep K. Sandhu et al.

Summary: Microglia and mast cells are important immune cells in the central nervous system, playing key roles in immune surveillance, neuroinflammation, and neurodegenerative diseases. They communicate through mediators and receptors, coordinating immune responses, but dysregulated activation can lead to neuronal dysfunction and death. Targeting common pathways in mast cells and microglia may offer potential therapeutic approaches to control inflammation.

Neuroinflammation and microglial activation in Alzheimer disease: where do we go from here?

Fangda Leng et al.

Summary: Microglial activation and neuroinflammation play important roles in Alzheimer's disease, affecting disease progression and pathologies. Current research focuses on the interplay between neuroinflammation and amyloid and tau pathologies, with a specific interest in modulating microglia as a therapeutic strategy for AD.

The Role of Microglia in Sporadic Alzheimer's Disease

Wolfgang J. Streit et al.

Summary: Microglia in Alzheimer's disease have been traditionally viewed as potentially harmful immune cells overactivated by amyloid, but an alternative theory suggests that their dysfunction due to aging may play a critical role in neurodegeneration. This theory challenges the amyloid cascade hypothesis by incorporating aging as a key etiological factor in Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease

Philip Scheltens et al.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease is projected to see a significant increase in prevalence in the future, with genetics playing a key role. Novel biomarkers and lifestyle-based prevention trials show promising therapeutic potential. Promising pharmacological treatments are advancing in clinical trials, targeting amyloid beta, tau, and inflammation.

Dystrophic microglia are associated with neurodegenerative disease and not healthy aging in the human brain

Ryan K. Shahidehpour et al.

Summary: The study found an age-associated increase in dystrophic microglia in the hippocampus and frontal cortex, but this increase was proportional to the total number of microglia, suggesting aging alone does not explain the presence of dystrophic microglia. Dystrophic microglia, rather than hypertrophic microglia, were found to be the disease-associated microglia morphology. Furthermore, changes in iron homeostasis in dystrophic microglia were identified as a potential molecular mechanism driving the degeneration of microglia in neurodegenerative disease.
