Microglial cells are the resident macrophages in the central nervous system. These cells of
mesodermal/mesenchymal origin migrate into all regions of the central nervous system …

Microglia are critical nervous system-specific cells influencing brain development,
maintenance of the neural environment, response to injury, and repair. They contribute to …

J. Neurochem.(2012) 121, 4–27. Abstract Neuroglial cells define brain homeostasis and
mount defense against pathological insults. Astroglia regulate neurogenesis and …

Cell motility is central to tissue homeostasis in health and disease, and there is hardly any
cell in the body that is not motile at a given point in its life cycle. Important physiological …

Circadian rhythms show universally a 24-h oscillation pattern in metabolic, physiological
and behavioral functions of almost all species. This pattern is due to a fundamental …

Cells of myeloid origin, such as microglia and macrophages, act at the crossroads of several
inflammatory mechanisms during pathophysiology. Besides pro-inflammatory activity (M1 …

Microglial cells interact with all components of the central nervous system (CNS) and are
increasingly recognized to play essential roles during brain development, homeostasis and …

Primary brain tumors, gliomas, diffusely invade the brain by active cell migration either
intraparenchymal, along white matter tracts or along blood vessels. The close relationship of …

Microglia are sensitive to environmental changes and are immediately transformed into
several phenotypes. For such dynamic “modal shifts”, purinergic receptors have central …
