Sex and regional differences in microglia morphology and complement receptor 3 are independent of constitutive neuroinflammatory protein concentrations in healthy mice
Abstract:Microglia are highly ramified brain phagocytes that are finely tuned to surrounding neuronal and glial activity. Combined, microglia morphology, dynamic process movement, phagocytic, and neuroinflammatory responses aid in the detection of changed neuronal function, maintenance, and restoration of neural networks during physiology and pathophysiologic conditions. An awareness of how microglia diversity in the healthy brain relates to brain region and sex differences would inform brain physiology, further deline… Show more
