Abstract excerpt
Macrophages are important effector cells in immune-mediated demyelination. Current concepts regarding their entry and activation focus on the effects of T-cell-derived cytokines. This presentation describes the responses of macrophages and microglia to a non-inflammatory, non-immune injury, Wallerian degeneration. During Wallerian degeneration in the peripheral nervous system (PNS), macrophages are promptly and...
