Microglial cells constitute the resident macrophage population of the CNS. Recent in vivo
studies have shown that microglia carry out active tissue scanning, which challenges the …

Microglial cells are the resident macrophages in the central nervous system. These cells of
mesodermal/mesenchymal origin migrate into all regions of the central nervous system, …

Cytokines constitute a significant portion of the immuno‐ and neuromodulatory messengers
that can be released by activated microglia. By virtue of potent effects on resident and …

Microglia are crucially important myeloid cells in the CNS and constitute the first immunological
barrier against pathogens and environmental insults. The factors controlling microglia …

The transfer of antigens from oligodendrocytes to immune cells has been implicated in the
pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Here, we show that oligodendrocytes secrete small …

Brain transcriptome and connectome maps are being generated, but an equivalent effort on
the proteome is currently lacking. We performed high-resolution mass spectrometry–based …

VAN ROSSUM, DU-K. HANISCH AND R. QUIRION. Neuroanatomical localization,
pharmacological characterization and functions of CGRP, related peptides and their receptors. …

We have generated transgenic mice in which astrocytes are labeled by the enhanced green
fluorescent protein (EGFP) under the control of the human glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP…

Locus ceruleus (LC)-supplied norepinephrine (NE) suppresses neuroinflammation in the
brain. To elucidate the effect of LC degeneration and subsequent NE deficiency on Alzheimer's …

Microglia, the standby cells for immune defense in the CNS, have a reputation for exacerbating
the neural damage that occurs in neurodegenerative diseases. However, research over …
