Microglia and neuroinflammation: a pathological perspective

Open access
Streit·2004·Journal of Neuroinflammation

Abstract

Microglia make up the innate immune system of the central nervous system and are key cellular mediators of neuroinflammatory processes. Their role in central nervous system diseases, including infections, is discussed in terms of a participation in both acute and chronic neuroinflammatory responses. Specific reference is made also to their involvement in Alzheimer's disease where microglial cell activation is thought to be critically important in the neurodegenerative process.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • After acute inflammatory damage, brain glial cells respond to repair the tissue; if the stimulus persists, it produces an inflammatory chronic state that leads to neuronal dysfunction, injury, and loss.

    “After acute inflammatory damage, the brain glial cells respond to repair the tissue. If the stimulus persists, it produces an inflammatory chronic state that leads to neuronal dysfunction, injury, and loss (Streit et al., 2004; Calsolaro and Edison, 2016).”
  • Persistent activation in microglia underpins the chronic inflammatory state in neurological diseases with an inflammatory aspect.

    “It is vital to determine pathways of persistent activation in microglia since this underpins the chronic inflammatory state in neurological diseases with an inflammatory aspect [151].”

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.
