Cover Illustration: 3D IMARIS render of Airyscan confocal z stack image showing the GFP microglia (green) processes diving into the diffuse amyloid plaque shell stained with anti-Aβ antibody D54D2 (red). Activated microglia interacts here with the plaque in two ways: with soma going deep into the plaque, and with thin processes which are intertwined in looser amyloid layers.

Regulating the formation of Müller glia-derived progenitor cells in the retina

  • Pages: 4-24
  • First Published: 24 October 2024
Regulating the formation of Müller glia-derived progenitor cells in the retina
Main Points

  • Müller glia-mediated retinal regeneration is robust in fish, diminished in birds, and absent in mammals.
  • In this review, we summarize the cell-signaling pathways, the influence of immune cells and gene networks that influence the reprogramming of Müller glia and retinal regeneration.

Developmental maturation and regional heterogeneity but no sexual dimorphism of the murine CNS myelin proteome
Main Points

  • We analyze myelin purified from mouse CNS tissue by quantitative proteomics.
  • The protein composition of myelin matures between P18 and P75.
  • Regional heterogeneity but no sex-dependent divergence of the CNS myelin proteome.

Aberrant neurodevelopment in human iPS cell-derived models of Alexander disease

  • Pages: 57-79
  • First Published: 23 September 2024
Aberrant neurodevelopment in human iPS cell-derived models of Alexander disease
Main Points

  • Astrocytes, neurons and neural organoids from AxD patient-derived iPS cells show impaired neural differentiation and altered lineage commitment.
  • Neuron/astrocyte co-cultures and neural organoids from AxD iPS cells are more susceptible to stress.

Protein kinase R induced by type I interferons is a main regulator of reactive microglia in Zika virus infection

  • Pages: 80-104
  • First Published: 03 October 2024
Protein kinase R induced by type I interferons is a main regulator of reactive microglia in Zika virus infection
Main Points

  • Type I interferons (IFNs-I) from ZIKV-infected neurons shape the reactivity of non-infected microglia
  • PKR activates microglia's phagocytic, pro-inflammatory and morphological response inducing STAT1 phosphorylation and IRF1 expression

The role of ATP citrate lyase in myelin formation and maintenance

  • Pages: 105-121
  • First Published: 25 September 2024
The role of ATP citrate lyase in myelin formation and maintenance
Main Points

  • We have tested if mitochondrial substrates of Acetyl CoA generation (e.g. glucose-derivated pyruvate, amino acids, fatty acids) are required for lipid synthesis in myelinating Schwann cells using a knockout of the ATP citrate lyase (Acly) gene.

Endogenous histidine peptides are physiological antioxidants that prevent oligodendrocyte cell death and myelin loss in vivo

  • Pages: 122-139
  • First Published: 03 October 2024
Endogenous histidine peptides are physiological antioxidants that prevent oligodendrocyte cell death and myelin loss in vivo
Main Points

  • Carns1-KO mice lack histidine dipeptides in oligodendrocytes and are more susceptible to demyelination and oxidative stress.
  • Carns1-KO mice show altered behavior and higher NADPH due to compensatory acceleration of the pentose phosphate pathway.

The role of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells in the spatiotemporal vascularization of the human and mouse neocortex

  • Pages: 140-158
  • First Published: 11 October 2024
The role of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells in the spatiotemporal vascularization of the human and mouse neocortex
Main Points

  • OPC populations play a role in neocortical vessel density.
  • OPC migration occurs independently of blood vessels, primarily along radial glial cells processes.
  • OPC secretions promote endothelial cell growth.

Uptake of alpha-synuclein preformed fibrils is suppressed by inflammation and induces an aberrant phenotype in human microglia

  • Pages: 159-174
  • First Published: 22 October 2024
Uptake of alpha-synuclein preformed fibrils is suppressed by inflammation and induces an aberrant phenotype in human microglia
Main Points

  • Inflammation exacerbates phagocytic clearance of αSyn PFFs in human microglia.
  • Inflammatory environment impairs mitochondrial function while modulating protein degradation.

Long-term reprogramming of primed microglia after moderate inhibition of CSF1R signaling

  • Pages: 175-195
  • First Published: 24 October 2024
Long-term reprogramming of primed microglia after moderate inhibition of CSF1R signaling
Main Points

  • Neuraminidase-induced neuroinflammation triggers long-term microglial priming.
  • Moderate CSF1R inhibition reverts microglial priming to a homeostatic phenotype, with only a partial and transient depletion of the microglial population.

Three-dimensional view of microglia—amyloid plaque interactions

  • Pages: 196-209
  • First Published: 22 October 2024
Three-dimensional view of microglia—amyloid plaque interactions
Main Points

  • Microglia interact differently with diffuse and fibrillar plaques.
  • Microglia aim their enlarged processes through the diffuse amyloid layer to the fibrillar core and cover it.
  • ApoE forms a layer between the plaque core and the microglia processes.

  • First Published: 22 October 2024
The antipsychotic chlorpromazine reduces neuroinflammation by inhibiting microglial voltage-gated potassium channels
Main Points

  • The antipsychotic drug chlorpromazine inhibits Kv1.3 channel activity in microglia of the medial prefrontal cortex.
  • Chlorpromazine ameliorates microglial activation and the associated behavioral changes induced by lipopolysaccharide.
