2024-09-11
Abstract excerpt
Microglial cells are highly specialized central nervous system (CNS) cells that can promote the inflammation and neurodegeneration seen in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). MS is a neurodegenerative autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and axonal degeneration. In MS patients, demyelination is associated with activated microglia.
