Primary Phagocytosis of Neurons by Inflamed Microglia: Potential Roles in Neurodegeneration

Microglial phagocytosis of dead or dying neurons can be beneficial by preventing the release of damaging and/or pro-inflammatory intracellular components. However, there is now evidence that under certain conditions, such as inflammation, microglia can also phagocytose viable neurons, thus executing...
