Microglia, the brain’s primary resident immune cells, can assume various phenotypes with diverse functional outcomes on brain homeostasis. In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), where microglia are a leading causal cell type, the identity of microglia subsets that drive neurodegeneration remains unresolved...
Pathogenic bacteria's metabolic adaptation for survival and proliferation within hosts is a crucial aspect of bacterial pathogenesis. Here, we demonstrate that citrate, the first intermediate of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, plays a key role as a regulator of gene expression in Staphylococc...
