When oligodendrocytes lack expression of the low-abundant myelin protein CMTM5, central nervous system axons are myelinated normally but subsequently degenerate involving a Wallerian-like pathomechanism.

In an empty microglial niche, repopulating microglia arise from subventricular zone and white matter-associated areas without contributions from the bone marrow to fill the mouse brain via a spreading wave.

New evidence of brain proinflammatory cascades supports post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection, ultimately promoting the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease as a function of age.
Molecular genetics identifies a novel microglial pathway essential for mouse brain development and a previously unknown anti-inflammatory activity of monomeric amyloid β that activates this pathway.
Preventing activity of the kinase tumor progression locus 2 modulates microglial activation, reduces T-cell brain infiltration, and is neuroprotective in disease models.
Based on benchmarking various methods and analyzing multiple real scRNA-seq datasets, a computational platform/workflow and a set of tips for best practices are developed for analyzing causal interactions or relationships in single cells.
