Microglial Star

The microglial astrocyte is a specialized cell of the nervous system. This is one of the types of astrocytes. They have various functions and are the neuroglia of the brain. Microglia. In the brain, the primary location of microglia is in the white matter (oligodendrocytes), where they line the myelin sheath of the neuron. Scientifically speaking, microglia is where its name comes from. We still have up to 50% of these cells in our brain. They are replaceable and actively divide, unlike their “colleagues” - astrocytes, which for a long time and persistently carry out the synthesis of my smart head. This is due to the fact that the brain is constantly growing and each cell divides after a certain period of time. For example, the cellularity of the cortex changes every year.

Microglias are a diverse population of glial cells located in the brain and spinal cord, involved in managing both the internal homeostasis and the adaptive responses of the central nervous system after injuries to other kinds of cells. The control of these cells is at the core of most degenerative and neurodegenerative processes that affect the ability to act, learn, and think. Manipulation or modulation of microglia in disease models and in autologous or xenogeneic regenerative therapies may prove promising means of replenishing the damaged contents of the brain.
