EMBL Conference: Microglia: Guardians of the Brain
Conference - Heidelberg, Germany
Microglia are phagocytic cells of hematopoietic origin that enter the brain and play important functions in both health and disease. Although discovered nearly one hundred years ago, microglia have only recently been appreciated to be highly dynamic cells that scan the brain to monitor and eliminate apoptotic, injured and sick neurons.
