Plaza-Zabala A, Sierra A
Methods Mol Biol
. 2023 Aug;
2713:45-70.
PMID: 37639114
In this chapter, we provide an overview of the main techniques and experimental approaches that can be used to analyze autophagy flux in microglia, the brain-resident macrophages. For this purpose,...

Autophagy
. 2023 Jan;
19(7):1952-1981.
PMID: 36622892
Microglial phagocytosis of apoptotic debris prevents buildup damage of neighbor neurons and inflammatory responses. Whereas microglia are very competent phagocytes under physiological conditions, we report their dysfunction in mouse and...

Klionsky D, Abdel-Aziz A, Abdelfatah S, Abdellatif M, Abdoli A, Abel S, et al.
Autophagy
. 2021 Feb;
17(1):1-382.
PMID: 33634751
In 2008, we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. Since then, this topic has received increasing attention, and many scientists have entered the field. Our...

Front Immunol
. 2021 Feb;
11:620602.
PMID: 33584716
Autophagy is a complex process that encompasses the enclosure of cytoplasmic debris or dysfunctional organelles in membranous vesicles, the autophagosomes, for their elimination in the lysosomes. Autophagy is increasingly recognized...

Sierra-Torre V, Plaza-Zabala A, Bonifazi P, Abiega O, Diaz-Aparicio I, Tegelberg S, et al.
Epilepsia
. 2020 Sep;
61(11):2593-2608.
PMID: 32940364
Objective: Microglial phagocytosis of apoptotic cells is an essential component of the brain regenerative response during neurodegeneration. Whereas it is very efficient in physiological conditions, it is impaired in mouse...

Front Immunol
. 2020 Apr;
11:506.
PMID: 32292406
From development to aging and disease, the brain parenchyma is under the constant threat of debris accumulation, in the form of dead cells and protein aggregates. To prevent garbage buildup,...

Autophagy
. 2020 Feb;
17(3):672-689.
PMID: 32093570
The precise degradation of dysfunctional mitochondria by mitophagy is essential for maintaining neuronal homeostasis. HTT (huntingtin) can interact with numerous other proteins and thereby perform multiple biological functions within the...

Diaz-Aparicio I, Paris I, Sierra-Torre V, Plaza-Zabala A, Rodriguez-Iglesias N, Marquez-Ropero M, et al.
J Neurosci
. 2020 Jan;
40(7):1453-1482.
PMID: 31896673
During adult hippocampal neurogenesis, most newborn cells undergo apoptosis and are rapidly phagocytosed by resident microglia to prevent the spillover of intracellular contents. Here, we propose that phagocytosis is not...

Int J Mol Sci
. 2017 Mar;
18(3).
PMID: 28282924
Autophagy is emerging as a core regulator of Central Nervous System (CNS) aging and neurodegeneration. In the brain, it has mostly been studied in neurons, where the delivery of toxic...

PMID: 27737762
Background: Tobacco withdrawal is associated with deficits in cognitive function, including attention, working memory, and episodic memory. Understanding the neurobiological mechanisms involved in these effects is crucial because cognitive deficits...
