Journal ArticleDOI

Perivascular microglia promote blood vessel disintegration in the ischemic penumbra

TL;DR: Potentially, medication directed at inhibiting microglia activation within the first day after stroke could stabilize blood vessels in the penumbra, increase blood flow, and serve as a valuable treatment for patients suffering from ischemic stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo and in vitro effects of multiple sclerosis immunomodulatory therapeutics on glutamatergic excitotoxicity

TL;DR: In vivo two‐photon imaging in the brain of TN‐XXL transgenic Ca2+ reporter mice suggests that MS drugs may mediate neuroprotection via excitotoxicity modulating effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo imaging of lymphocytes in the CNS reveals different behaviour of naïve T cells in health and autoimmunity

TL;DR: The activation status rather than antigen specificity or regulatory phenotype is the central requirement for CD4+ T cell migration within healthy CNS tissue, and naïve T cells cannot find sufficient migratory signals in healthy, non-inflamed CNS parenchyma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gatekeeper role of brain antigen‐presenting CD11c + cells in neuroinflammation

TL;DR: The gatekeeper function of CNS professional antigen‐presenting CD11c+ cells is demonstrated, which preferentially interact with Th17 cells, and a fundamental role of CNS CD11C+ cells in the attraction of pathogenic T cells into and their survival within the CNS is demonstrated.
