Microglia: read our trending articles

Microglia are tissue-resident macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS). They are considered the immune cells of the brain and play crucial roles in maintaining CNS health. Interdisciplinary collaboration is essential in microglia research to comprehensively understand their complex functions and drive innovative approaches for studying microglia in aging and age-related diseases.
