Abstract
A recent study outlines the phenotypes of brain border region macrophages in developing, normal and glioblastoma-affected brains. For the first time, the authors show in-vivo turnover of human brain border macrophages. The findings have implications for the understanding of brain border immunity and potential macrophage targeting therapies.
keypoints
Human border region macrophages are distinct from microglia.
These distinct phenotypes are established early during embryonal development - Brain border macrophages are partially replaced by bone marrow-derived myeloid cells.
The transcriptional phenotypes of glioblastoma-associated macrophage are determined by the anatomical region.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Translational Medicine (CTM) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to accelerating the translation of preclinical research into clinical applications and fostering communication between basic and clinical scientists. It highlights the clinical potential and application of various fields including biotechnologies, biomaterials, bioengineering, biomarkers, molecular medicine, omics science, bioinformatics, immunology, molecular imaging, drug discovery, regulation, and health policy. With a focus on the bench-to-bedside approach, CTM prioritizes studies and clinical observations that generate hypotheses relevant to patients and diseases, guiding investigations in cellular and molecular medicine. The journal encourages submissions from clinicians, researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals.
