Microglia

15 Aug 2013

Abstract excerpt

Microglial cells are the immune cells in the CNS and represent approximately 10% of the total brain cell population. Their morphologic characterization by Pio del Rio-Hortega was first published almost a century ago, but the understanding of their function in the normal and injured CNS is still incomplete. Classically, microglia have been classified into 2 main types: "resting" microglia, with a ramified...
