Changing face of microglia.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 5 Nov 2010

Graeber Manuel B

Abstract excerpt

Microglia are resident brain cells that sense pathological tissue alterations. They can develop into brain macrophages and perform immunological functions. However, expression of immune proteins by microglia is not synonymous with inflammation, because these molecules can have central nervous system (CNS)-specific roles. Through their involvement in pain mechanisms, microglia also respond to external threats....
