Microglia as potential key regulators in viral-induced neuroinflammation.

This article explores the role of microglia, a type of immune cell in the central nervous system, in viral-induced neuroinflammation. It discusses the different types of viruses that can cause central nervous system infections and how they infiltrate the CNS. The article highlights the responses of glial cells, particularly astrocytes and microglia, to viral infections and suggests that microglia play a crucial role in regulating the immune response and neuroinflammation associated with viral infections. It also mentions the potential implications of viral infections, such as COVID-19, on the function and activation of microglia and astrocytes. The document includes a list of references that can be valuable resources for researchers and library patrons interested in studying these topics. [Extracted from the article]
