Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Microglia are the endogenous immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS) and 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 glycolytic function...
