Microglia are the brain’s dedicated immune cells, acting as constant sentinels that scan for injury, pathogens, and cellular debris. They prune weak synapses, clear toxic proteins, and orchestrate inflammation to protect neural networks. Essential for neurodevelopment and daily maintenance, these cells benefit researchers studying Alzheimer’s, stroke, and brain injuries, as well as patients by guiding therapeutic strategies to modulate neuroinflammation and preserve cognitive health.
