SOURCE: SCIENCE DAILY MIND-BRAIN FEEDTITLE: Immune cells flood into the aging brain, Stanford scientists discover
URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/08/260814011033.htm
Scientists have discovered that the aging human brain may be far less isolated from the rest of the body than once believed. Stanford researchers found that large numbers of immune cells from the blood begin entering the brain as early as middle age, where they can transform into microglia, the brain’s specialized immune cells. The finding overturns a long-standing assumption that these cells remain largely separate from the body’s immune system throughout life.

🚀Another #MotilA update this morning: v1.1.3 brings optional #CSV & #YAML export, which makes MotilA less reliant on proprietary file formats. … And: MotilA got its first logo 🤗

🚀 #MotilA now runs with #OMIO!
Today’s version release v1.1.2 adds much more flexible image I/O: #TIFF/ OME-TIFF, #CZI, #LSM & #Thorlabs RAW are now read via OMIO and normalized to #OME-compliant TZCYX axis-order, automatically. So, no more manual axis reordering before analysis 🤗

🧠🚓 New paper on #microglia depletion: #CSF1R inhibition with #PLX5622 is not microglia-specific, it also depletes long-lived peripheral #macrophage populations. Could become important for interpreting #microglial #depletion experiments: Phenotypes after depletion or recovery may reflect broader macrophage niche perturbation, not microglia alone:

@MaFu55 #CX3CR1 deficiency enhances microglial reactivity while limiting GB cell migration, and CSF1R inhibition also constrains #tumor microtube #plasticity. Together, the data place #microglia directly in the control of #glioblastoma invasion dynamics.
Huge congrats to Felix and all co-authors! 🥳

🧠 New paper from the @MaFu55 lab! 🥳
Felix shows that #microglia shape #glioblastoma invasion at the far infiltration zone. Using in vivo #3photon #imaging, he finds dynamic microglial responses, and shows that microglial manipulation reduces GB migration and limits #tumormicrotube #plasticity.
