Colony-Stimulating Factor 1 Receptor (CSF1R) Regulates Microglia Density and Distribution, but Not Microglia Differentiation In Vivo

TL;DR: It is found that csf1r mutations led to aberrant microglia density and distribution and regional loss ofMicroglia in zebrafish, which implies that CSF1R mainly regulates microglian density and that early loss ofmicroglia may contribute to ALSP pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a Conserved and Acute Neurodegeneration-Specific Microglial Transcriptome in the Zebrafish

TL;DR: RNA sequencing on microglia acutely isolated from healthy and neurodegenerative zebrafish brains found that a large fraction of the mouse microglial signature is conserved in the zebra Fish, corroborating the use of zebra fish to help understand microglian genetics in mammals and offering opportunities to facilitate functional genetic research on microGlia in vivo in the healthy as well as in the diseased brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reverse genetic screen reveals that Il34 facilitates yolk sac macrophage distribution and seeding of the brain

TL;DR: Using a new reverse genetic screening method for zebrafish microglia development, involving automated image analysis, it is identified that il34 facilitates yolk sac macrophage distribution to target organs, including the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene expression profiling reveals a conserved microglia signature in larval zebrafish.

TL;DR: Results show that larval zebrafish microglia mature rapidly and express the coremicroglia gene signature that seems to be conserved across species.
