Mouse Astrocytes Promote Microglial Ramification by Releasing TGF-β and Forming Glial Fibers

The morphology of microglial cells is often closely related to their functions. The mechanisms that regulate microglial ramification are not well understood. Here we reveal the biological mechanisms by which astrocytes regulate microglial ramification. Morphological variation in mouse microglial cul...
