Microglial pruning of glycinergic synapses disinhibits spinal PKCγ interneurons to drive pain hypersensitivity in mice.

Science translational medicine
Microglial activation is linked to neuroinflammation in neuropathic pain. Recently, microglia-mediated synaptic pruning has received mounting attention. However, the exact role of spinal microglia in modulating neuropathic pain-associated neural circ...

Role of astroglia and microglia in Alzheimer's disease and multiple therapeutic interventions.

Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) formed by aggregates of hyperphosphorylated tau proteins. It presents a formidable global health challenge, prompting the exploration of inno...

Eyes Are the Windows to the Soul: Reviewing the Possible Use of the Retina to Indicate Traumatic Brain Injury.

International journal of molecular sciences
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) induces complex molecular and cellular responses, often leading to vision deterioration and potential mortality. Current objective diagnostic methods are limited, necessitating the development of novel tools to assess dis...

μGlia-Flow, an automatic workflow for microglia segmentation and classification.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: Microglia are important immune cells in the central nervous system, playing a key role in various pathological processes. The morphological diversity of microglia is closely linked to the development of brain diseases, yet accurate segmen...

Unveiling CNS cell morphology with deep learning: A gateway to anti-inflammatory compound screening.

PloS one
Deciphering the complex relationships between cellular morphology and phenotypic manifestations is crucial for understanding cell behavior, particularly in the context of neuropathological states. Despite its importance, the application of advanced i...

Machine learning-assisted design of immunomodulatory lipid nanoparticles for delivery of mRNA to repolarize hyperactivated microglia.

Drug delivery
Regulating inflammatory microglia presents a promising strategy for treating neurodegenerative and autoimmune disorders, yet effective therapeutic agents delivery to these cells remains a challenge. This study investigates modified lipid nanoparticle...

Unraveling microglial spatial organization in the developing human brain with DeepCellMap, a deep learning approach coupled with spatial statistics.

Nature communications
Mapping cellular organization in the developing brain presents significant challenges due to the multidimensional nature of the data, characterized by complex spatial patterns that are difficult to interpret without high-throughput tools. Here, we pr...

3-Dimensional morphological characterization of neuroretinal microglia in Alzheimer's disease via machine learning.

Acta neuropathologica communications
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disease that affects 47.5 million people worldwide. AD is characterised by the formation of plaques containing extracellular amyloid-β (Aβ) and neurofibrillary tangles composed of hyper-pho...

Cross-disease transcriptomic analysis reveals DOK3 and PAPOLA as therapeutic targets for neuroinflammatory and tumorigenic processes.

Frontiers in immunology
OBJECTIVE: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and tumorigenesis share numerous biological complexities; nevertheless, the specific gene expression profiles and underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study aims to identify differentially expr...

Unraveling pathogenesis and potential biomarkers for autism spectrum disorder associated with HIF1A pathway based on machine learning and experiment validation.

Neurobiology of disease
BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with a high social burden and limited treatments. Hypoxic condition of the brain is considered an important pathological mechanism of ASD. HIF1A is a key participant in brain...
