Microglia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Microglia are a type of glial cells 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 are the smallest of the glial cells. Some act as phagocytes cleaning up CNS debris. Most serve as representatives of the immune system in the brain. Microglia protect the brain from invading microorganisms and are thought to be similar in nature to microphages in the blood system.

Microglia are tissue macrophages that populate the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) very early in embryonic development. ... 2)Therefore, microglia are poised to contribute to either the onset, progression OR the resolution and repair observed during neuroinflammatory disease.

We examined the neuroprotective role of nicergoline in neuron-microglia or neuron-astrocytes co-cultures. ... We examined the neuroprotective role of nicergoline in neuron-microglia or neuron-astrocytes co-cultures. Nicergoline, an ergoline derivative, significantly suppressed the neuronal cell death induced by co-culture...

The biology and function of microglia is central to many issues in modern neuropathology. Microglia and brain macrophages have been recognized to play crucial roles in important diseases such as viral infections, autoimmunity and neurodegenerative disorders.

Microglia make up the innate immune system of the central nervous system and are key cellular mediators of neuroinflammatory processes. Their role in central nervous system diseases, including infections, is discussed in terms of a participation in both acute and chronic neuroinflammatory responses.
