## Abstract Microglia have highly branched and motile cell processes and constantly screen the brain parenchyma under physiological conditions. In response to pathological stimuli, microglia exhibit morphological changes and migrate toward the lesioned site, where they play important roles in infla

## Abstract The urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) receptor (uPAR) is a GPIβlinked cell surface protein that facilitates focused plasmin proteolytic activity at the cell surface. uPAR has been detected in macrophages infiltrating the central nervous system (CNS) and soluble uPAR has been detecte
## Abstract Recently, activated microglia have been shown to be involved in the regulation of several aspects of neurogenesis under certain experimental conditions both __in vitro__ and __in vivo__. A neurogenesis supportive microglia phenotype has been suggested to arise from the interaction of mi
