Identification of repopulated microglia-associated genes in microglia depleted/repopulated mice after spinal cord injury

Key Points

• Microglia-associated genes were identified in repopulated mice after spinal cord injury, indicating their role in recovery.
• Specifically, 18 distinct genes were found to be significantly altered during the repopulation process.
• Analysis focused on genetic expression patterns following injury in microglia-depleted and repopulated mice.
• The findings underscore the importance of microglia in neuroinflammation and healing post-injury.
