The brain-meningeal interface functions as a reservoir and entry site for brain parenchymal macrophages

Deniz Kaymak, Phil T. Williams, Sabrina A. Hogan, Marie‐Françoise Ritz, Giulia Di Bartolomei, Sihan Zhu, Siling Du, Hassan Melhem, Ana C. Delgado, Tala Shekarian, Marta McDaid, Alexandra Gerber, Igor Smirnov, Patrice Zeis, Timo Schenker, , Gregor Hütter

The paper shows that CNS macrophage engraftment depends on TRM self-renewal and niche timing, not prolonged vacancy, and identifies a peripheral BAM-like macrophage population in aged human brains.

Biophysical basis for the induction of glioblastoma-like phenotype in astrocytes

Laurent Starck, Melika Sarem, Bernd Heimrich, Ritwick Sawarkar, Marie‐Françoise Ritz, Gregor Hütter, Venkatram Prasad Shastri

The paper shows that nanoroughness induces a glioblastoma-like phenotype in astrocytes through spheroid formation, MMP2 activation, and gene expression changes.
