31. It comprises neurons, nerve fibers, interneurons, microglia , astrocytes, and blood vessels. 32. The recruited microglia then initiate inflammation and a process of phagocytosis of the foreign material begins. 33. He managed to identify microglia between 1919 and 1921 by staining the cells with silver carbonate. 34. "" Microglia are recognized as the innate immune cells of the central nervous system. 35. But the microglia cannot kill or digest the insoluble amyloid, so the immune response never stops. 36. Anti-inflammatory drugs could suppress the microglia attacks and prevent the death of healthy brain tissue. 37. The immune-system cells, which are naturally present in the brain, are called microglia . 38. Another difference between microglia and other cells that differentiate from myeloid progenitor cells is the turnover rate. 39. The following list contains a few of the numerous substances that are secreted when microglia are activated: 40. A causal role for microglia in the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain has been demonstrated through BDNF ).
