What has single-cell RNA sequencing revealed about microglial neuroimmunology?

The use of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) in microglial research is increasing rapidly. The basic workflow of this approach consists of isolating single cells, followed by sequencing. scRNA-seq is capable of examining microglial heterogeneity on a cellular level.

Drugs Modulating CD4+ T Cells Blood-Brain Barrier Interaction in Alzheimer's Disease.

The effect of Alzheimer's disease (AD) medications on CD4+ T cells homing has not been thoroughly investigated. CD4+ T cells could both exacerbate and reduce AD symptoms based on their infiltrating subpopulations. Proinflammatory subpopulations such as Th1 and Th17 constitute a major source of proinflammatory cytokines that reduce endothelial integrity and stimulate astrocytes, resulting in the production of amyloid β.
