Microglia can engage in phagocytosis, and are involved in immune responses within, as well as the development and remodelling of the nervous system. Their shape varies depending on the ...

These cells demonstrated expression of microglia-enriched genes and showed typical microglial functions such as LPS-induced responses and phagocytosis. We then performed xenotransplantation of these ...

They actively survey the brain and clear away toxins and pathogens. In this project, you will explore the effect that opening the blood-brain barrier has on microglia: phagocytosis, ...
