Microglial Phagocytosis and Its Regulation: A Therapeutic Target in Parkinson’s Disease?
The role of phagocytosis in the neuroprotective function of microglia has been appreciated for a long time, but only more recently a dysregulation of this process has been recognized in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Indeed, microglia play several critical roles in central nervous system (CNS), such as c...
