Article Synopsis
  • Sepsis leads to systemic immune issues and organ failure, often resulting in severe brain disability, with young females showing better recovery than males.
  • Using a mouse model, researchers found that after experiencing sepsis, both male and female mice showed weight regain and reduced gut microbiome diversity, but males displayed more significant immune changes and brain inflammation.
  • fMRI analysis highlighted that while both sexes experienced similar changes in certain brain areas, male mice had altered connectivity patterns suggesting a delayed recovery process compared to females, indicating a complex, sex-dependent response to sepsis.

The natural substitution Ala610Val in the porcine glucocorticoid receptor (GR) leads to a profound compensatory downregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in early ontogeny. In this study, we leveraged this unique animal model to explore mechanisms of HPA axis regulation and consequences of its genetically-based persistent hypoactivity. To this end, we examined transcriptional signature of GR in the hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdala and adrenal gland in resting conditions (i.

TREM1-Microglia crosstalk: Neurocognitive disorders.

Article Synopsis
  • Neurocognitive Disorders (NCDs) impact cognitive abilities like memory and problem-solving, typically arising from central nervous system issues.
  • Research highlights that inflammation in the hippocampus, triggered by microglial cells, plays a key role in cognitive decline associated with NCDs.
  • The receptor TREM1, which increases during inflammation, enhances microglial activation and may be vital in the inflammatory processes linked to NCDs.

Article Synopsis
  • Microglia play a crucial role in regulating synaptic function in the brain, but their behavior in acute brain slices may be influenced by the slicing and maintenance process.
  • In this study, researchers found that after 4 hours of slicing, microglia show morphological and functional changes, including becoming more reactive and altering their signaling capabilities.
  • The study suggests that these changes in microglia correspond to a decrease in synaptic transmission in pyramidal neurons, highlighting the importance of considering time factors in ex vivo experiments involving microglia and synaptic function.
