Early life psychosocial stress increases binge-like ethanol consumption and CSF1R inhibition prevents stress-induced alterations in microglia and brain macrophage population density

This study shows early life psychosocial stress increases binge ethanol consumption, and microglia inhibition reduces this effect and normalizes microglial population density.

Novel method for collecting hippocampal interstitial fluid extracellular vesicles (EV-ISF) reveals sex-dependent changes in microglial EV proteome in response to Aβ pathology

The paper develops a method to collect hippocampal interstitial fluid extracellular vesicles (EVISF) and finds sex-dependent changes in microglial EV proteome related to Aβ pathology.

Ethanol exposure alters Alzheimer's-related pathology, behavior, and metabolism in APP/PS1 mice

This study shows chronic ethanol exposure worsens Alzheimer's-like pathology, behavior, and metabolism in APP/PS1 mice by increasing amyloid plaques, altering brain metabolism, and affecting behavior.
