Microglial cells are innate immune cells in the Central Nervous System (CNS) that provide support and facilitate tissue repair through the avid production of several inflammatory mediators (e.g., chemokines and cytokines) and growth factors (e.g., BDNF). They also remove menacing foreign or pathogenic elements and ensure the establishment and maintenance of proper synaptic connections. These diverse functions are addressed by the contributors of the present Research Topic.

Abstract

Microglial cells are innate immune cells in the Central Nervous System (CNS) that provide support and facilitate tissue repair through the avid production of several inflammatory mediators (e.g., chemokines and cytokines) and growth factors (e.g., BDNF). They also remove menacing foreign or pathogenic elements and ensure the establishment and maintenance of proper synaptic connections. These diverse functions are addressed by the contributors of the present Research Topic.
