Microglia

Microglia are a type of glial cell located throughout the brain and spinal cord, playing a crucial role in the immune surveillance and maintenance of the central nervous system. As researchers continue to uncover the complex functions of microglia, understanding their role in neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and neurological disorders has become increasingly important for developing effective treatments and therapies, making microglia a key area of study in neuroscience and biomedical research.
