The Leech Nervous System: A Valuable Model to Study the Microglia Involvement in Regenerative Processes

Microglia are intrinsic components of the central nervous system (CNS). During pathologies in mammals, inflammatory processes implicate the resident microglia and the infiltration of blood cells including macrophages. Functions of microglia appear to be complex as they exhibit both neuroprotective a...
