Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Inward and, depending on activation state, outward potassium currents are the dominant ion channels in microglial cells in culture. During transition between resting and activated phases, there is also an upregulated expression of stretch/swelling-activated chloride currents. Pharmacological blockade of the specific potassium channels does not prevent the transition, whereas blockade of chloride channels does, suggesting that this current may be involved in phase changes. Interestingly, this chloride current is far less studied than the potassium currents with regard to the different microglial phases. One puzzling finding when studying microglial state is that despite changes in current densities and membrane oscillations during transition, there is no evidence of an accompanying change in membrane potential. In other cells of the immune system, membrane oscillations and alterations in membrane potential are correlated with transitions in cellular phases. This discrepancy in microglia may be a result of the fact that almost all ion channel and membrane potential studies in culture are undertaken with concomitant dialysis of cytoplasm with pipette solution. Further complicating matters is that the few studies that use microglia in situ, find fundamental differences in ion channel current patterns of "resting" microglia as well as different temporal changes to pathological events or stimuli.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
