Abstract:
Microglia is the principal immune effector cell in brain. It plays some important roles in support, nutrition, protection, and repair in the physiological activities of neuron. Microglia can be quickly activated, which may proliferate after cerebral ischemia, and promote phagocytosis of macrophage. It exerts dual effects by producing neurotoxic molecules and neurotrophic factors. Therefore, to study the relationship between microglia and cerebral ischemia, give full play to its protective functions and reduce its damage will help to improve the therapeutic effects of cerebral ischemic injury.
