This study examines how germ-free conditions affect microglial dynamics in piglets' prefrontal cortex, finding region-specific neuroinflammatory changes in the absence of microbial colonization.

This study examines neural/glial precursor and corpus callosum development in Leigh Syndrome mice, revealing impaired Complex I function disrupts brain growth before neurodegenerative symptoms appear.

This study shows that mild brain injury increases dopaminergic neurodegeneration and Lewy body pathology in mice, and that reducing T cell infiltration improves outcomes.
