Abstract excerpt
Neuroinflammation is a key process for many neurodegenerative diseases. Activated microglia and astrocytes play an essential role in neuroinflammation by producing nitric oxide (NO), inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and neurotoxins. Therefore, targeting glia-mediated neuroinflammation using small-molecules is a potential therapeutic strategy. In this study, we performed a phenotypic screen using microglia...
