Microglia are parenchymal macrophages of the CNS; as professional phagocytes they are
important for maintenance of the brain's physiology. These cells are generated through …

Microglia and non-parenchymal macrophages in the brain are mononuclear phagocytes that
are increasingly recognized to be essential players in the development, homeostasis and …

Microglia and non‐parenchymal macrophages located in the perivascular space, the
meninges and the choroid plexus are independent immune populations that play vital roles …

The immune system of the central nervous system (CNS) consists primarily of innate
immune cells. These are highly specialized macrophages found either in the parenchyma …

Microglia are highly specialized tissue macrophages of the brain with dedicated functions in
neuronal development, homeostasis and recovery from pathology Despite their unique …

Microglia belong to tissue-resident macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS),
representing the primary innate immune cells. This cell type constitutes~ 7% of non …

As immune sentinels of the central nervous system (CNS), microglia not only respond
rapidly to pathological conditions but also contribute to homeostasis in the healthy brain. In …

Mononuclear phagocytic cells in the CNS used to be defined according to their anatomical
location and surface marker expression. Recently, this concept has been challenged by the …

Microglia are usually referred to as “the innate immune cells of the brain,”“the resident
macrophages of the central nervous system”(CNS), or “CNS parenchymal macrophages.” …

Microglia are the only immune cells that permanently reside in the central nervous system
