Microglia are the resident macrophages in the central nervous system (CNS). One of their most important characteristics is their ability to phagocytose, which plays a pivotal role in maintaining brain homeostasis and responding to neurodegenerative diseases. In vitro microglial phagocytosis assays assist in understanding how microglia maintain tissue homeostasis in healthy and disease states. At Creative Biolabs, our scientists are prepared to develop a custom research plan to meet your specific requirements.
