Current understanding of the glial response to disorders of the aging CNS
In this special issue of Frontiers in Neuropharmacology, we have asked leading experts to comment and review the evidence that inflammatory cells play a leading role in the pathological processes underlying neurodegenerative disorders. We now seek to draw these various observations together into a c...
