Abstract excerpt
In situ and in vitro, microglia can have different morphologies, which are thought to reflect distinct physiological activities. Two extreme forms are ameboid and ramified microglia. To study cytoskeletal changes during differentiation, we used defined cell culture systems to yield cultures of ameboid or ramified microglia from mouse brain. With respect to proliferation, secretion, receptor-expression, and...
