successfully translated to the clinic. Increased importance on the progressive, long-term …

[HTML][HTML] Quantitating the subtleties of microglial morphology with fractal analysis

A Karperien, H Ahammer, HF Jelinek - Frontiers in cellular …, 2013 - frontiersin.org
It is well established that microglial form and function are inextricably linked. In recent years,
the traditional view that microglial form ranges between “ramified resting” and “activated …

Sequential activation of microglia and astrocyte cytokine expression precedes increased Iba‐1 or GFAP immunoreactivity following systemic immune challenge

DM Norden, PJ Trojanowski, E Villanueva, E Navarro… - Glia, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Activation of the peripheral immune system elicits a coordinated response from the central
nervous system. Key to this immune to brain communication is that glia, microglia, and …

β-Adrenergic receptor antagonism prevents anxiety-like behavior and microglial reactivity induced by repeated social defeat

ES Wohleb, ML Hanke, AW Corona… - Journal of …, 2011 - Soc Neuroscience
Psychosocial stress is associated with altered immune function and development of
psychological disorders including anxiety and depression. Here we show that repeated …

TGFβ produced by IL‐10 redirected astrocytes attenuates microglial activation

DM Norden, AM Fenn, A Dugan, JP Godbout - Glia, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
While there clearly is an intimate relationship between astrocytes and microglia, few studies
have examined these potentially dynamic interactions. In this study, cytokine‐mediated …

Re-establishment of anxiety in stress-sensitized mice is caused by monocyte trafficking from the spleen to the brain

ES Wohleb, DB McKim, DT Shea, ND Powell, AJ Tarr… - Biological …, 2014 - Elsevier
Background Persistent anxiety-like symptoms may have an inflammatory-related
pathophysiology. Our previous work using repeated social defeat (RSD) in mice showed that …

[HTML][HTML] Temporal pattern of expression and colocalization of microglia/macrophage phenotype markers following brain ischemic injury in mice

C Perego, S Fumagalli, MG De Simoni - Journal of neuroinflammation, 2011 - Springer
Background Emerging evidence indicates that, similarly to what happens for peripheral
macrophages, microglia can express different phenotypes depending on …

Immune activation promotes depression 1 month after diffuse brain injury: a role for primed microglia

AM Fenn, JC Gensel, Y Huang, PG Popovich… - Biological …, 2014 - Elsevier
Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with a higher incidence of depression.
The majority of individuals who suffer a TBI are juveniles and young adults, and thus, the risk …

Neuroinflammatory dynamics underlie memory impairments after repeated social defeat

DB McKim, A Niraula, AJ Tarr, ES Wohleb… - Journal of …, 2016 - Soc Neuroscience
Repeated social defeat (RSD) is a murine stressor that recapitulates key physiological,
immunological, and behavioral alterations observed in humans exposed to chronic …

Peripheral innate immune challenge exaggerated microglia activation, increased the number of inflammatory CNS macrophages, and prolonged social withdrawal in …

ES Wohleb, AM Fenn, AM Pacenta, ND Powell… - …, 2012 - Elsevier
Repeated social defeat (RSD) activates neuroendocrine pathways that have a significant
influence on immunity and behavior. Previous studies from our lab indicate that RSD …
