This project investigates the interaction between neurons and microglia, the immune cells in the brain, focusing on how chemokines facilitate communication. By manipulating neuronal gene expression and observing microglial responses in real-time, the research aims to uncover the mechanisms of neuronal health monitoring…
Historically, the central nervous system (CNS) and the immune system have been regarded as strictly separate.
However, in the brain, resident macrophages, called microglia, play both immune and glial cell functions.
Indeed, these cells constantly extend and retract branches to monitor neuronal activity directly.
Upon contacts with neurons they have been shown to either support their functional integration or engulf apoptotic, injured and sick cells with surgical precision.
How microglia sense th…
