microglia

plural noun ˌmɪkrə(ʊ)ˈɡlʌɪəˌmʌɪkrə(ʊ)ˈɡlʌɪəˈɡlīə

    Example sentencesExamples
    • Optic pathway gliomas in humans are typically surrounded by blood vessels and microglia, which are immune system cells in the brain.
    • The neurohypophysis was replaced by fibrotic tissue containing perivascular macrophages and activated microglia, and in the cerebellum, there were large areas of myelin pallor.
    • Scavenger cells called microglia can be found in the center of plaques, and astrocytes, a type of cell that usually helps protect neurons, are found around the outside of the spherical plaques.
    • Three cell types are found: astrocytes with their two varieties, protoplasmic and fibrous; oligodendroglia; and microglia.
    • Nerve cells near plaques often look swollen and deformed, and are surrounded by inflammatory cells called microglia, which are part of the brain's immune system.

    Anatomy
    • The nitration and oxidation injury from the microglial proinflammatory response promotes a vicious cycle of continued oxidative neural injury and microglial activation.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • Lesions in the cerebral hemispheres and brainstem included perivascular lymphocytes in leptomeninges and parenchyma, with scattered microglial nodules in gray and white matter.
      • Pathologically, inflammation of the spinal cord meninges is coupled with varying degrees of underlying spinal necrosis, demyelination, and microglial influx.
      • Glial nodules, also called Babes nodes, consist of a small focus of lymphocytes and microglial cells centered on a neuron, and there is often evidence of neuronophagia.
      • Pathologic findings included cell loss, gliosis, vacuolization, microglial cell proliferation, and perivascular lymphocytic infiltrates; the most severely affected regions were the gray matter of the cervical and lumbar cord.
