Aged-Related Changes in Microglia and Neurodegenerative Diseases: Exploring the Connection
2024-05-13
Abstract excerpt
Microglial cells are brain macrophages that support and protect the central nervous system enviroment. Aging induces alterations in microglial polarization, resulting in a shift towards a neurotoxic phenotype characterized by increased expression of pro-inflammatory markers. Dysregulation of microglial cells regulatory pathways and interactions with neurons contribute to chronic activation and neurodegeneration. A...
