A Microglia Centered View of Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Microglia are innate immune cells of the central nervous system, analogous to macrophages elsewhere in the body. Overly reactive and senescent microglia are implicated in the development of neurodegenerative conditions, producing sustained inflammatory signaling while failing in their normal portfolio of tasks related to tissue maintenance and support of neurons. Here, researchers extend this line...
