Abstract excerpt
Microglia are highly specialized immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS). These cells exhibit remarkable plasticity, enabling them to adopt distinct phenotypes and functional profiles in response to changes in their microenvironment. Biological barriers, such as the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the intestinal barrier, play a crucial role in maintaining the organism's homeostasis, protecting organs and...
