## Abstract Complement‐receptor‐3 (CR3/MAC‐1), scavenger‐receptor‐AI/II (SRAI/II), and Fcγ‐receptor (FcγR) can mediate myelin phagocytosis in macrophages and microglia. Paradoxically, after injury to CNS axons these receptors are expressed but myelin is not phagocytosed, suggesting that phagocytosi
## Abstract The removal of degenerated myelin is essential for repair in Wallerian degeneration that follows traumatic injury to axons and in autoimmune demyelinating diseases (e.g., multiple sclerosis). Microglia can remove degenerated myelin through phosphatidylinositol‐3‐kinase (PI3K)‐dependent
