In #MECFS, there’s evidence that microglia are activated more often than in healthy people, which contributes to #neuroinflammation. OMF’s CRC at Uppsala is analyzing microglia activity via MRI as a way of detecting neuroinflammation.

New in @natureportfolio.nature.com on microglial regulation in Alzheimer’s disease. The study shows that microglia with low PU.1 expression and surface CD28 reduce amyloid pathology and inflammation. It highlights immune co-stimulatory pathways as potential targets in AD. Very interesting!

Microglia-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Enhance Oligodendrocyte Maturation by Transcriptionally Regulating Mitochondrial Molecular Pathways - Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology
Degeneration of myelinating oligodendrocytes and the resulting breakdown of the myelin sheath are key drivers of neurodegeneration and disability across numerous central nervous system pathologies. Thus, a compelling strategy to preserve neuronal function is to promote endogenous myelin repair by oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs). Extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by pro-regenerative microglia have been shown to enhance OPC maturation and remyelination across different experimental m...
