Description:
This template compares microglia and astrocytes side by side, showing their distinct branched cell morphologies along with their developmental origin, from yolk sac for microglia and radial glia for astrocytes. It also lists their phenotypes, morphological markers like Iba1 and GFAP, CNS functions, and shared disease associations including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's disease.
