Background: Stroke affects more than 12 million individuals worldwide annually, leading to lasting physical and cognitive impairments. The peri-infarct environment in the central nervous system, comprising glial and blood vessel cells, contributes to stroke progression. The hippocampal CA1 region is particularly vulnerable to ischemia, whereas the adjacent CA3-DG region exhibits different responses.

Neuropathic pain is a debilitating condition characterized by chronic pain that is often refractory to conventional treatments. Increasing evidence suggests that microglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system, play a crucial role in modulating pain pathways through neuroinflammatory mechanisms. The Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 (TREM2), in conjunction with DNAX-activating protein 12 (DAP12), regulates microglial activation and immune responses, thereby influencing neuropathic pain progression.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) involves a dynamic interaction between neuroinflammation and metabolic dysregulation, where microglia play a central role. These immune cells undergo metabolic reprogramming in response to AD-related pathology, with key genes such as TREM2, APOE, and HIF-1α orchestrating these processes. Microglial metabolism adapts to environmental stimuli, shifting between oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis.

Microglia, key orchestrators of the brain's immune responses, play a pivotal role in the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Emerging human models, including stem cell-derived microglia and cerebral organoids, are transforming our understanding of microglial contributions to AD pathology. In this review, we highlight how these models have uncovered human-specific microglial responses to amyloid plaques and their regulation of neuroinflammation, which are not recapitulated in animal models.
