Primary phagocytosis of neurons by inflamed microglia: potential roles in neurodegeneration
Microglial phagocytosis of dead or dying neurons can be beneficial by preventing secondary necrosis and release of pro-inflammatory intracellular components. However, there is now evidence that under certain conditions microglia can also phagocytose viable neurons, thus executing their death. In par...
