#' RNA-seq from microglia cells
#'
#' The \code{SummarizedExperiment} object for Bruttger et al, Immunity 2015. Three condition were assessed, namely bone marrow macrophages, wild type microglia, and repopulating microglia (GEO accession: GSE68376)
#'
#' Read counts per gene for the RNA-seq experiment experiment performed in PMID: 26163371.
#' Interleukin-1 signaling is involved in local self-renewal and maintenance of microglia.
#' During early embryogenesis microglia arise from yolk sac progenitors populating the developing CNS, where they are maintained as tissue-resident macrophages throughout the organism's lifespan.
#' Here, we describe an experimental system that allows the specific conditional ablation of microglia in vivo.
#' Strikingly, we found that the microglia compartment was reconstituted within one week following depletion. Microglia repopulation relied entirely on a CNS-resident, internal pool and was independent from bone marrow-derived precursors.
#' Newly formed microglia were found in highly proliferative, organized micro-clusters that dissolve once steady state was achieved. Gene expression profiling revealed prominent expression of Interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor in proliferating microglia.
#' During the repopulation phase, IL-1 signaling was neutralized by treatment with IL-1 receptor antagonist that impaired microglia proliferation. Hence, microglia harbor a highly efficient potential to restore themselves without contribution of peripheral myeloid cells.
#' IL-1 signaling significantly participates in this restorative proliferation process and is involved in stabilizing microglia maintenance.
