Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of morbidity and disability, with a
considerable socioeconomic burden. Heterogeneity of pathoanatomical subtypes and …

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and microglia (MG) are potent regulators of glioma
development and progression. However, the dynamic alterations of distinct TAM populations …

Microglia and central nervous system (CNS)-associated macrophages (CAMs), such as
perivascular and meningeal macrophages, are implicated in virtually all diseases of the …

As the immune-competent cells of the brain, microglia play an increasingly important role in
maintaining normal brain function. They invade the brain early in development, transform …

Perivascular, subdural meningeal and choroid plexus macrophages are non-parenchymal
macrophages that mediate immune responses at brain boundaries. Although the origin of …

Microglia constitute a highly specialized network of tissue-resident immune cells that is
important for the control of tissue homeostasis and the resolution of diseases of the CNS …

Microglia are brain resident macrophages originated from primitive progenitor cells in the
yolk sac. Microglia can be activated within hours and recruited to the lesion site …

The mammalian retina provides an excellent opportunity to study glia–neuron interactions
and the interactions of glia with blood vessels. Three main types of glial cells are found in …

Microglia are the only immune cells that permanently reside in the central nervous system
(CNS) alongside neurons and other types of glial cells. The past decade has witnessed a …
