There is growing evidence that excessive microglial phagocytosis of neurons and synapses
contributes to multiple brain pathologies. RNA‐seq and genome‐wide association (GWAS) …

Microglia, the primary resident immune cell type, constitute a key population of glia in the
retina. Recent evidence indicates that microglia play significant functional roles in the retina …

Microglial cells are the resident macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS) and are
mainly known for their roles in neuropathologies. However, major recent developments have …

The continuous crosstalk between microglia and neurons is required for microglia
housekee** functions and contributes to brain homeostasis. Through these exchanges …

Microglial cells are the scions of foetal macrophages which invade the neural tube early
during embryogenesis. The nervous tissue environment instigates the phenotypic …

Microglia are the predominant immune response cells and professional phagocytes of the
central nervous system (CNS) that have been shown to be important for brain development …

Microglia are tissue‐resident macrophages responsible for the surveillance, neuronal
support, and immune defense of the brain parenchyma. Recently, the role played by …

Brain-resident macrophages, microglia, have been proposed to have an active role in
synaptic refinement and maturation, influencing plasticity and circuit-level connectivity. Here …

Intercellular signaling molecules such as cytokines and their receptors enable immune cells
to communicate with one another and their surrounding microenvironments. Emerging …

Many diverse factors, ranging from stress to infections, can perturb brain homeostasis and
alter the physiological activity of microglia, the immune cells of the central nervous system …
