Microglia pack a toolbox for life
Trends Immunol. 2024 Apr 13:S1471-4906(24)00068-1. doi: 10.1016/j.it.2024.03.010. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAfter decades of being overlooked, a recent wave of studies have explored the roles of microglia in brain health and disease. Microglia perform important physiological functions to set up and maintain proper neural network functions, as well as orchestrate responses to toxic stimuli to limit harm. Many microglial transcriptional programs, extracellular sensing molecules, and functional outputs are seen throughout life. A stark example is the similarity of microglial responses to stressors during neurodevelopment ...

Will cellular immunotherapies end neurodegenerative diseases?
Trends Immunol. 2024 Apr 9:S1471-4906(24)00064-4. doi: 10.1016/j.it.2024.03.006. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNeurodegenerative disorders present major challenges to global health, exacerbated by an aging population and the absence of therapies. Despite diverse pathological manifestations, they share a common hallmark, loosely termed 'neuroinflammation'. The prevailing dogma is that the immune system is an active contributor to neurodegeneration; however, recent evidence challenges this. By analogy with road construction, which causes temporary closures and disruptions, the immune system's actions in the central nervous s...

Approaches for studying human macrophages
Trends Immunol. 2024 Apr 4:S1471-4906(24)00032-2. doi: 10.1016/j.it.2024.02.007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMacrophages are vital tissue components involved in organogenesis, maintaining homeostasis, and responses to disease. Mouse models have significantly improved our understanding of macrophages. Further investigations into the characteristics and development of human macrophages are crucial, considering the substantial anatomical and physiological distinctions between mice and humans. Despite challenges in human macrophage research, recent studies are shedding light on the ontogeny and function of human macrophages....

Lipocalin-2: a novel potential therapy for GVHD
Trends Immunol. 2024 Mar 27:S1471-4906(24)00049-8. doi: 10.1016/j.it.2024.03.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCzech et al. used mouse models of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) to investigate the role of lipocalin-2 (LCN2) as a newfound regulator of intestinal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Administration of recombinant LCN2 protein after disease onset prevented GVHD progression, suggesting that it may play a role in reversing tissue damage that has already begun.PMID:38548552 | DOI:10.1016/j.it.2024.03.004 (Source: Trends in Immunology)
