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, the macrophages of the central nervous system parenchyma, have in the normal
healthy brain a distinct phenotype induced by molecules expressed on or secreted by …

Cytokines constitute a significant portion of the immuno‐and neuromodulatory messengers
that can be released by activated microglia. By virtue of potent effects on resident and …

Microglial cells constitute the resident immune cell population of the mammalian central
nervous system. One striking feature of these cells is their highly dynamic nature under both …

Microglia cells are resident central nervous system (CNS) leukocytes that regulate innate
immunity and participate in adaptive immune responses in CNS tissue. However, microglia …

The most characteristic feature of microglial cells is their rapid activation in response to even
minor pathological changes in the CNS. Microglia activation is a key factor in the defence of …

Microglia cells are the immune cells of the central nervous system and consequently play
important roles in brain infections and inflammation. Recent in vivo imaging studies have …

Microglia are the histiocytes of the central nervous system. These long-lived cells undergo
very little turnover in normal physiological states; however, in pathological conditions …

Microglia, of myeloid origin, play fundamental roles in the control of immune responses and
the maintenance of central nervous system homeostasis. These cells, just like peripheral …
