Microglia and Alzheimer’s Disease: Why the Brain’s Immune Cells Matter to Stem Cell Research
Deep inside the brain, a population of highly specialized cells is constantly monitoring the environment around neurons. These cells, known as microglia, are part of the central nervous system’s immune system. They remove cellular debris, respond to injury, communicate with other cells, and help maintain tissue balance. In Alzheimer’s disease, however, microglial activity can become...
