Changing Functional Signatures of Microglia along the Axis of Brain Aging.

International journal of molecular sciences - 22 Jan 2021

Brawek Bianca, Skok Maryna, Garaschuk Olga

Abstract excerpt

Microglia, the innate immune cells of the brain, are commonly perceived as resident macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS). This definition, however, requires further specification, as under healthy homeostatic conditions, neither morphological nor functional properties of microglia mirror those of classical macrophages. Indeed, microglia adapt exceptionally well to their microenvironment, becoming a...
