The Role of Microglia and Macrophages in CNS Homeostasis, Autoimmunity, and Cancer
Macrophages are major cell types of the immune system, and they comprise both tissue-resident populations and circulating monocyte-derived subsets. Here, we discuss microglia, the resident macrophage within the central nervous system (CNS), and CNS-infiltrating macrophages. Under steady state, micro...
