The vasculature of the central nervous system (CNS) is a highly specialized structure that delivers oxygen and nutrients to energy-demanding neural cells whi...

The role of myeloid cells in vascular regulation remains incompletely understood. Here, the authors show that microglia are the only myeloid cells that localize to capillaries and that they maintain b...

Microglia and border-associated macrophages play a role in regulating cerebral blood flow (CBF), but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, the authors show a role for microglial CD39 in the reg...

Microglia are proposed to have a role in brain development through synaptic engulfment and paracrine signaling. O’Keeffe et al. show that certain neurodevelopmental processes attributed to microglia c...
