Lesion-associated microglia and macrophages mediate corralling and react with massive phagocytosis for debris clearance and wound healing after LPS-induced dopaminergic depletion.

Neuroinflammation contributes to neuronal degeneration in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, how brain inflammatory factors mediate the progression of neurodegeneration is still poorly understood. Experimental models of PD have shed light on the understanding of this phenomenon, but the exploration of inflammation-driven models is necessary to better characterize this aspect of the disorder.

Evaluation of MALDI-TOF MS as a tool for detection of Listeria spp. directly from selective enrichment broth from food and stool samples.

We evaluated the detection of Listeria spp. using MALDI-TOF MS directly in enrichment broths, without isolated colonies, with naturally contaminated food and stool samples. The success rate was 77%.
