Single-nucleus RNA sequencing reveals the specific molecular signatures of myeloid cells responding to brain injury after microglial replacement by Xiao-Yi Xiong, Xiao-Yi Xiong, Xiao-Yi Xiong, Haicheng Yuan, Ying Mu, Yi He, Fang Xie, Xiao-Shuang Feng, Jia-Xin Xie, Xin-Ru Pan, Yu-Fei Wang, Jian Gong, Xiaoming Zheng, Peng-Fei Wang

“…Both MG and Mo/MΦ experience modification of immune responses after microglial repopulation, with more prominent changes in MG. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis showed that one term directly related to the “immune response” was shared between upregulated genes in Rep-MG and Rep-Mo/MΦ, while the other terms related to immune functions and other biofunctions were different between Rep-MG and Rep-Mo/MΦ, indicative of significantly different immune responses to brain injury between MG and MΦ. …”
