Selective inhibition of mitochondrial respiratory complexes controls the transition of microglia into a neurotoxic phenotype in situ.

Abstract excerpt

Microglia are tissue resident macrophages (innate immunity) and universal sensors of alterations in CNS physiology. In response to pathogen or damage signals, microglia feature rapid activation and can acquire different phenotypes exerting neuroprotection or neurotoxicity. Although transcriptional aspects of microglial phenotypic transitions have been described, the underlying metabolic reprogramming is widely...
