Regional difference in inflammatory response to LPS-injection in the brain: Role of microglia cell density
(Elsevier, 2011)
To elucidate whether density of cells could contribute to the extent of microglial activation, we performed in vitro assays using three different densities of N13 microglia stimulated with LPS. Our results showed that ...

Distinct Microglial Responses in Two Transgenic Murine Models of TAU Pathology
(Frontiers Media Research Foundation, 2018-11-14)
Microglial cells are crucial players in the pathological process of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Microglial response in AD has been principally studied in relation to amyloid-beta pathology ...

Microglia: Agents of the CNS Pro-Inflammatory Response
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020)
The pro-inflammatory immune response driven by microglia is a key contributor to the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases. Though the research of microglia spans over a century, the last two decades have ...

Proteostasis Dysfunction in Aged Mammalian Cells. The Stressful Role of Inflammation
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)
Aging is a biological and multifactorial process characterized by a progressive and irreversible deterioration of the physiological functions leading to a progressive increase in morbidity. In the next decades, the world ...

Should we open fire on microglia? Depletion models as tools to elucidate microglial role in health and alzheimer’s disease
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021)
Microglia play a critical role in both homeostasis and disease, displaying a wide variety in terms of density, functional markers and transcriptomic profiles along the different brain regions as well as under injury or ...

Stress and inflammation: a detrimental combination in the development of neurodegenerative disease
(Smart Science and Technology, 2014)
Chronic stress accelerates the appearance of some neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson´s disease. On this review we firstly, describe some human epidemiological studies that highlight the ...

Editorial: Neurodegeneration: From Genetics to Molecules (Part II)
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
Among non-transmissible chronic diseases, neurodegenerative complications have become a big challenge in public health. Elongation of human lifespan, due in part to better health services, lifestyle changes, and improvements ...
