Roles of Microglia in Neuroinflammation
Description
This template shows the roles of microglia in neuroinflammation as a cycle, with homeostatic microglia responding to inflammatory stimuli by becoming pro-inflammatory and releasing cytokines that degenerate neurons. Anti-inflammatory microglia counteract this by releasing neurotrophic factors that support neuroprotection, completing the balance between neurotoxicity and neuroprotection.
