N-3 PUFA Deficiency Affects the Ultrastructural Organization and Density of White Matter Microglia in the Developing Brain of Male Mice

Fanny Decoeur et al.

Summary: The westernization of dietary habits has led to a decrease in the intake of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) in pregnant and lactating women, resulting in defects in the formation of brain myelin in infants. This study found that these deficits may be related to alterations in the structure and function of microglial cells in the white matter of the brain.

Mechanisms underlying microglial colonization of developing neural retina in zebrafish

Nishtha Ranawat et al.

Summary: Microglia are brain-resident macrophages that colonize specific brain regions during development, such as the retina. They use blood vessels as pathways and depend on neuronal differentiation for proper migration. Factors like IL34 also play a role in microglial precursor colonization of the retina.

Universal principles of lineage architecture and stem cell identity in renewing tissues

Philip Greulich et al.

Summary: The arrangement of cells in tissues forms a lineage hierarchy to regulate tissue turnover. Based on the relationship between cell molecular 'states' and cell 'types', a self-renewing cell type is shown to only reside at the top of the lineage hierarchy in dynamic equilibrium. The property of 'stemness' is entirely determined by the cell environment, supporting the idea that stem cell identities are contextual.

Regulation of microglia population dynamics throughout development, health, and disease

Brady P. Hammond et al.

Summary: The dynamic changes in microglia density, volume, and proliferation in the central nervous system play a crucial role in their function, with fluctuations affecting their ability to respond effectively to various stimuli. Microglia exhibit a robust proliferative capacity during development and in neurodegenerative diseases, but this capacity is largely absent at homeostasis. Proper microglial function in different states is heavily dependent on density fluctuations primarily induced by proliferation.

The role of P2Y12 in the kinetics of microglial self-renewal and maturation in the adult visual cortex in vivo

Monique S. Mendes et al.

Summary: Microglia in the brain are immune cells that have a high capacity for self-renewal. Through in vivo imaging in awake mice, it was found that under normal conditions, microglia in the cortex have limited turnover and migration. However, following depletion, microglial repopulation is rapid and sustained by the dynamic division of remaining cells. This process is largely independent of signaling through the P2Y12 receptor.
