Pgrmc1: new roles in in the microglial mediation of progesterone-antagonism of estradiol-dependent neurite sprouting and in microglial activation
Pgrmc1 expression in microglia was recently shown by the present authors to mediate estrogen-progesterone interactions during axonal sprouting and to mediate microglial activation itself. We discuss these findings in relation to other functions of Pgrmc1 in the nervous system and its possible relat...
