- Title
Macrophages: Microglial cell origins.
- Authors
Leavy, Olive
- Abstract
The article discusses research being done on the origin of microglial cells. It references the study "Fate mapping analysis reveals that adult microglia derive from primitive macrophages" by F. Ginhoux and colleagues in the 2010 issue of the periodical "Science." It states that the said study indicates that microglial cells are maintained independently of definitive haematopoiesis. It mentions that myeloid progenitors arising before E7.5 are valuable in the adult microglial cell population.
