Microglia and monocyte-derived macrophages: functionally distinct populations that act in concert in CNS plasticity and repair
Functional macrophage heterogeneity is recognized outside the central nervous system (CNS), where alternatively-activated macrophages can perform immune-resolving functions. Such functional heterogeneity was largely ignored in the CNS, with respect to the resident microglia and the myeloid-derived c...
