The neural markers present in the normal circulating monocytoid cells able, in pathological situations, to trans-differentiate into different mesenchymal-type cells, confirm the hypothesis previously raised that these cells derive from the neural crest. In culture, the normal cells display a great plasticity very reminiscent of microglial cells in culture. Almost a quiescent cell in normal individuals, this...
