Microglia dynamics in aging-related neurobehavioral and neuroinflammatory diseases

Nima Javanmehr et al.

Summary: Microglia play a crucial role in maintaining brain homeostasis and neurorepair processes. Recent research has revealed their spatiotemporal heterogeneity and their involvement in neurodegenerative processes. Microglia have diverse phenotypes and are involved in promoting and inhibiting inflammation, as well as neurovascular unit restoration and synaptic plasticity. Further exploration is needed to understand the dynamics of microglial cells and their contribution to neurodegeneration.

Microglia Phenotypes in Aging and Neurodegenerative Diseases

Menbere Y. Wendimu et al.

Summary: Neuroinflammation plays a fundamental role in neurodegenerative diseases, and microglia, as the immune guardians of the central nervous system, are central drivers of this inflammation. Microglia exhibit complex and often contradictory activation patterns in different pathological states, playing both detrimental and protective roles.

Different phenotypes of microglia in animal models of Alzheimer disease

Yun Wei et al.

Summary: Microglia, immune-competent cells, play a critical role in maintaining normal brain function. In Alzheimer's disease, microglial proliferation and activation occur around amyloid plaques. Recent research has discovered various microglial phenotypes related to aging and Alzheimer's disease, beyond the traditional M1 and M2 types. Redox signaling regulates the acquisition of different microglial activation phenotypes, which are associated with distinct molecular signatures.

The semantics of microglia activation: neuroinflammation, homeostasis, and stress

Samuel C. Woodburn et al.

Summary: Microglia are increasingly recognized as critical regulators of neuronal function and behavior in neuroscience. Research has shifted focus from their classical immune functions in pathological contexts to neuro-immune interactions in the absence of disease, injury, or infection. Standard methods to study and define microglial phenotype and function are being developed to facilitate the development of microglia-directed therapeutics in psychiatric and neurological diseases.

Loss of NPC1 enhances phagocytic uptake and impairs lipid trafficking in microglia

Alessio Colombo et al.

Summary: Niemann-Pick type C disease is primarily caused by mutations in NPC1, leading to abnormal lipid storage in late endosomes/lysosomes. Research shows that NPC1 disruption significantly impairs microglial function, potentially triggering abnormalities in phagocytosis and myelin turnover in microglia before neuronal death.

Modulation of inflammatory responses by fractalkine signaling in microglia

Koichi Inoue et al.

Summary: Reactive microglia are thought to be involved in neurological disorders, and the administration of fractalkine (FKN) can modify LPS-induced microglial activation. By reducing CX3CR1, the FKN signal is attenuated, partially modulating the inflammatory response of microglial cells.
