Microglia as neuroprotective, immunocompetent cells of the CNS
Abstract
The role of glial cells is to support and sustain proper neuronal function and microglia are no exception to this. This viewpoint article emphasizes the fundamental interdependence of microglia and neurons and takes a look at the possibility of what could happen if microglial cells became dysfunctional as a result of aging, genetics, or epigenetics. Could microglial senescence be a factor in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases? The cautious answer to that question is 'yes'. Future studies along these lines may provide novel insights into microglial involvement in neurodegenerative disease pathogenesis.

IL-6 originates in skeletal muscle.
“Specifically, IL-6, which originates in skeletal muscle, has been shown with exercise to elicit an anti-inflammatory response that includes elevated expression of a number of factors including IL-10 and IL-1RA, and as well as inhibition of factors like tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha).113–115”

In the context of exercise, IL-6 may play an anti-inflammatory role.
“In addition, the cytokine IL-6, while generally considered a pro-inflammatory marker in PD that correlates with functional impairment (decreased walking speed), may in the context of exercise, play an anti-inflammatory role.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
