There has been an explosion of new findings recently giving us insights into the involvement
of microglia in central nervous system (CNS) disorders. A host of new molecular tools and …

Microglia are the resident immune effector cells of the central nervous system (CNS) rapidly
reacting to any perturbation in order to maintain CNS homeostasis. Although their …

Microglia are resident cells of the brain that regulate brain development, maintenance of
neuronal networks, and injury repair. Microglia serve as brain macrophages but are distinct …

Microglia are the brain's resident macrophages, which guide various developmental
processes crucial for brain maturation, activity, and plasticity. Microglial progenitors enter the …

Microglia were first recognized as a distinct cell population in the CNS one century ago. For
a long time, they were primarily considered to be phagocytes responsible for removing …

Recent findings challenge the concept that microglia solely function in disease states in the
central nervous system (CNS). Rather than simply reacting to CNS injury, infection, or …

Microglia are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system. However, recent data
indicate that microglia also contribute to diverse physiological and pathophysiological …

The predominant type of immune cell in the brain is the microglia, a type of tissue-resident
macrophage. In a variety of neurodegenerative settings, microglia alter their transcriptional …

Microglia were recently shown to play unexpected roles in normal brain development and
adult physiology. This has begun to dramatically change our view of these resident …

Microglial cells constitute the resident macrophage population of the CNS. Recent in vivo
studies have shown that microglia carry out active tissue scanning, which challenges the …
