Microglia/macrophage polarization: Fantasy or evidence of functional diversity?

Journal of cerebral blood flow and metabolism : official journal of the International Society of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism - 1 Dec 2020

Hu Xiaoming

Abstract excerpt

Microglia and non-parenchymal macrophages are increasingly recognized to play critical roles in the central nervous system (CNS) health and disease. Accumulating evidence suggests that these mononuclear phagocytes do not constitute stereotypical cell populations, but rather polarize into a variety of phenotypes at different stages of CNS development, stresses, and diseases. This commentary aims to discuss our...
