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!

Our new paper reveals that chronic active MS lesions feature CD8⁺ T cell niches with lipid-laden, inflamed microglia. IFN-γ drives cholesterol buildup, linking dysregulated lipid metabolism to inflammation and meurodeg.

This post is from a scientist with a political agenda, and it is very wrong.

Here‘s what this in vitro model does not have:

❌ any resemblance to the details of a brain! It’s a ball of cells.

Please don’t be fooled by the NAM folks, funded by the right to damage science.

Glia gang, this is for you!

In this video by our #ElectronMicroscopy team, shows a pyramidal neuron (PyC) surrounded by 8 glia brain cells – 5 microglia (MG) and 3 oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPC).

What about in COVID-recovered controls? The difference is microglia activation is higher in the brain stem of the brain.

What's your favorite [biological entity] is the [commonplace noun] of the [biological entity] descriptions?

For example, mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell or microglia are the janitors of the brain.

Microglia support endocannabinoid-dependent LTP and episodic memory.

Microglia depletion disrupted LTP and memory in mice—effects reversed by enhancing 2-AG signaling.
