Abstract | Microglia are the resident macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS). They have important physiological functions in maintaining tissue homeostasis but also contribute to CNS pathology. Microglia respond to changes in the microenvironment, and the resulting reactive phenotype can be very diverse, with both neuroinflammatory and neuroprotective properties, illustrating the plasticity of these cells. Recent progress in understanding the autoimmune neuroinflammatory disease multiple sclerosis (MS) and its animal model experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis suggests major roles for microglia in the disease, which have drastically changed our view on the function of microglia in MS. |
