Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Microglial cells are considered to be the chief immunomodulatory cells of the brain. These cells play a crucial role against various neurodegenerative diseases. When modulated microglia have been shown to exert a potential anti-tumor immune response against brain neoplasms. Although several specific BRMs like IL-2, IFNgamma have been shown to modulate the microglia to get an effective anti-tumor...
