Regulation of Microglial Functions by Purinergic Mechanisms in the Healthy and Diseased CNS

2020-03-18

Abstract excerpt

Microglial cells, the resident macrophages of the CNS, exist in a process-bearing, ramified/surveying phenotype under resting conditions. Upon activation by cell damaging factors they get transformed to an amoeboid phenotype releasing various cell products including pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, proteases, reactive oxygen/nitrogen species and the excytotoxic ATP and glutamate. In addition, they engulf pa...
