Microglia in the adult brain arise from Ly-6ChiCCR2+ monocytes only under defined host conditions
Alexander Mildner,Hauke Schmidt,Mirko Nitsche,Doron Merkler,Uwe-Karsten Hanisch,Matthias Mack,Mathias Heikenwalder,Wolfgang Brück,Josef Priller,Marco Prinz +9 more
TL;DR: Using a panel of bone marrow chimeric and adoptive transfer experiments, it is found that circulating Ly-6ChiCCR2+ monocytes were preferentially recruited to the lesioned brain and differentiated into microglia.

High-Dimensional Single-Cell Mapping of Central Nervous System Immune Cells Reveals Distinct Myeloid Subsets in Health, Aging, and Disease
Dunja Mrdjen,Anto Pavlovic,Felix J. Hartmann,Bettina Schreiner,Sebastian G. Utz,Brian P. Leung,Iva Lelios,Frank L. Heppner,Jonathan Kipnis,Doron Merkler,Melanie Greter,Burkhard Becher +11 more
TL;DR: High‐dimensional cytometry reveals that microglia, several subsets of border‐associated macrophages and dendritic cells coexist in the CNS at steady state and exhibit disease‐specific transformations in the immune microenvironment during aging and in models of Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis.

A reversible form of axon damage in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and multiple sclerosis
Ivana Nikić,Doron Merkler,Doron Merkler,Catherine D. Sorbara,Mary Brinkoetter,Mario Kreutzfeldt,Mario Kreutzfeldt,Florence M. Bareyre,Wolfgang Brück,Derron L. Bishop,Thomas Misgeld,Martin Kerschensteiner +11 more
TL;DR: In vivo imaging and pharmacological experiments show that macrophage-derived reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS) can trigger mitochondrial pathology and initiate FAD, and suggest that inflammatory axon damage might be spontaneously reversible and thus a potential target for therapy.

TOX reinforces the phenotype and longevity of exhausted T cells in chronic viral infection.
Francesca Alfei,Kristiyan Kanev,Maike Hofmann,Ming Wu,Hazem E. Ghoneim,Hazem E. Ghoneim,Patrick Roelli,Patrick Roelli,Patrick Roelli,Daniel T. Utzschneider,Madlaina von Hoesslin,Jolie G. Cullen,Yiping Fan,Vasyl Eisenberg,Dirk Wohlleber,Katja Steiger,Doron Merkler,Mauro Delorenzi,Mauro Delorenzi,Percy A. Knolle,Cyrille J. Cohen,Robert Thimme,Benjamin Youngblood,Dietmar Zehn +23 more
TL;DR: It is shown that TOX is a critical factor for the normal progression of T cell dysfunction and the maintenance of exhausted T cells during chronic infection, and provide a link between the suppression of effector function intrinsic to CD8 T cells and protection against immunopathology.

Myelin Membrane Wrapping of CNS Axons by PI(3,4,5)P3-Dependent Polarized Growth at the Inner Tongue
Nicolas Snaidero,Wiebke Möbius,Tim Czopka,Liesbeth H.P. Hekking,Cliff Mathisen,Dick Verkleij,Sandra Goebbels,Julia M. Edgar,Doron Merkler,David A. Lyons,Klaus-Armin Nave,Mikael Simons,Mikael Simons +12 more
TL;DR: The integrative approach of live imaging, electron microscopy, and genetics are used to show that new myelin membranes are incorporated adjacent to the axon at the innermost tongue, ultimately leading to the formation of a set of closely apposed paranodal loops.
