Examples of microglia
microglia
Microglia in EAE have ramified morphology, indicative of inflammatory activation.

While neurons die, other brain cells like astroglia and microglia do not die.

They found microglia, a cell type they had previously noted in human tumor samples.

The effect of activated microglia on astrogliosis parameters in astrocyte cultures.

Microglia are cells traditionally thought to control immunity in the nervous system.
From the sciencedaily.com
Microglia consistently promoted the survival of cortical neurons in vitro.

Frequently after the prolonged survey by microglia, damaged synapses were eliminated.
From the sciencedaily.com
Previous studies suggested that leakage of fibrinogen activates microglia.

While in their activated state, microglia may serve a variety of beneficial functions.

- Neuroglial tissue of mesodermal origin that can become phagocytic
- Microglia are a type of glial cell that are the resident macrophages of the brain and spinal cord, and thus act as the first and main form of active immune defense in the central nervous system (CNS). Microglia constitute 20% of the total glial cell population within the brain. ...
- The glial cells of the immune system; they can function as phagocytes
- Cells within the brain that are related to macrophages.
- Resident macrophages in brain tissue, spinal cord, and retina.
- Small cells of connective tissue of the central nervous system.
- Occurs in white matter; phagocytizes waste products from injured neurons
- Small cells within the nervous system that act as phagocytes, watching for and engulfing invaders.(29)
- Immune cells from inside the CNS
