Rat astrocytic tumour cells are associated with an anti-inflammatory microglial phenotype in an organotypic model
Aim: Microglia form a high proportion of cells in glial tumours but their role in supporting or inhibiting tumour growth is unclear. Here we describe the establishment of an in vitro model to investigate their role in astrocytomas. Methods: Rat hippocampal slices were prepared and, after 7 days to...
