Role of Mitochondrial Dynamics in Microglial Activation and Metabolic Switch
2021-01-06
Abstract excerpt
Microglia act as sensors of injury in the brain, favouring its homeostasis. Their activation and polarization towards a pro-inflammatory phenotype are associated to injury and disease. These processes are linked to a metabolic reprogramming of the cells, characterized by high rates of glycolysis and suppressed oxidative phosphorylation. This metabolic switch can be reproduced in vitro by microglial stimulation wit...
