A potential gliovascular mechanism for microglial activation: differential phenotypic switching of microglia by endothelium versus astrocytes
Abstract Background Activation of microglia can result in phenotypic and functional diversity. However, the pathways that trigger different states of microglial activation remain to be fully understood. Here, we hypothesized that after injury, astrocytes and endothelium may contribute to a gliovascu...
