Live-Cell Kinetic Analysis of Microglial Function and Morphology
Microglia are the resident immune cells of the central nervous system and play significant roles in the regulation of homeostasis and the management of tissue response to inflammatory or pathological insults. Microglia impact synaptic remodeling and turnover of dendritic spines through the removal of damaged or unnecessary neurons or synapses however limited tools and in vitro model systems exist to enable optimizing, monitoring and analyzing functional and morphological changes of these cells.
