| 11. | In microglia, P2X 7 receptors are found mostly on the cell surface.
|
| 12. | Astrocytes and microglia cells digest the decaying organelles and dying neurons through phagocytosis.
|
| 13. | Some cells are then phagocytosed by astrocytes and microglia.
|
| 14. | Microglia are recognized as the innate immune cells of the central nervous system.
|
| 15. | Acute inflammation in the brain is typically characterized by rapid activation of microglia.
|
| 16. | They present clusters of activated microglia in otherwise normal-appearing white matter.
|
| 17. | Cells were also labelled in green for Coronin 1a, a marker for microglia.
|
| 18. | When activated, microglia will secrete proteases, cytokines, and reactive oxygen species.
|
| 19. | While in their activated state, microglia may serve a variety of beneficial functions.
|
| 20. | Unlike astrocytes and microglia, oligodendrocytes undergo a much more limited reaction to injury.
