Constitutive expression of CX3CR1-BAC-Cre introduces minimal off-target effects in microglia

Fadya H. Mroue-Ruiz, Bhoomi Desai, Madison M. Garvin, Jonila Shehu, Faith Kamau, Urjoshi Kar, Jessica L. Bolton

This study examines the effects of constitutive CX3CR1-BAC-Cre expression on microglia and finds minimal off-target effects compared to tamoxifen-induced models.

Inhibition of the Microglial Phagocytic Receptor MerTK Underlies ELA-induced Changes in Synapses and Behavior in Male Mice

Madison M. Garvin, Urjoshi Kar, Cassandra L. Kooiker, Jessica L. Bolton

This study shows that ELA increases excitatory synapses in male mice's PVN by inhibiting microglial MerTK, mimicked by microglial MerTK deletion, but not in females.
