Embryonic microglia maintain the brain's cortical fault lines

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLawrence et al. report that fetal cortical boundaries are susceptible to morphogenetic stress that regulates a microglia state resembling postnatal, axon-tract associated microglia (ATM). This state performs a newfound function at these boundaries by preventing the formation of cavitary lesions, mediated in part by Spp1-regulated phagocytosis of fibronectin 1.PMID:38664101 | DOI:10.1016/j.it.2024.04.005 (Source: Trends in Immunology)

Microglia as integrators of brain-associated molecular patterns
Trends Immunol. 2024 Apr 23:S1471-4906(24)00067-X. doi: 10.1016/j.it.2024.03.009. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMicroglia are brain-resident macrophages that play key roles in brain development and experience dependent plasticity. In this review we discuss recent findings regarding the molecular mechanisms through which mammalian microglia sense the unique molecular patterns of the homeostatic brain. We propose that microglial function is acutely controlled in response to 'brain-associated molecular patterns' (BAMPs) that function as indicators of neuronal activity and neural circuit remodeling.

Sensory neuronal control of skin barrier immunity
Trends Immunol. 2024 Apr 22:S1471-4906(24)00066-8. doi: 10.1016/j.it.2024.03.008. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPeripheral sensory neurons recognize diverse noxious stimuli, including microbial products and allergens traditionally thought to be targets of the mammalian immune system. Activation of sensory neurons by these stimuli leads to pain and itch responses as well as the release of neuropeptides that interact with their cognate receptors expressed on immune cells, such as dendritic cells (DCs). Neuronal control of immune cell function through neuropeptide release not only affects local inflammatory responses but can ...
