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 ...

Scientists broadly agree that both apolipoprotein E and microglia are necessary ingredients for amyloidosis. In mice devoid of ApoE, or of their microglia, scant plaques form. Now, a sweeping study ...

After they cross into the brain, some circulating proteins stir a subset of microglia. They boost the cells’ metabolism, phagocytosis, and antigen presentation. These microglia are in the hypothalamus ...

Phagocytosis Actin-mediated specialized processes by which large particles are engulfed and endocytosed by specialized cells. Pinocytosis Processes by which fluids and solutes are endocytosed.

Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) Reduces LPS-Induced Inflammatory Response Via ATF3 Transcription Factor and Stimulates Src/Syk Signaling-Dependent Phagocytosis in Microglia.
