Colonisation of the developing human brain and spinal cord by microglia: a review.

Microscopy research and technique - 15 Jun 1999

Rezaie P, Male D

Abstract excerpt

Microglia are the immune effector cells of the nervous system. The prevailing view is that microglia are derived from circulating precursors in the blood, which originate from the bone-marrow. Colonisation of the central nervous system (CNS) by microglia is an orchestrated response during human fetal development related to the maturation of the nervous system. It coincides with vascularisation, formation of...
