Impact of chemokines on the properties of spinal cord-derived neural progenitor cells in a rat spinal cord lesion model.

abstract：:Cortical or total brain cultures of microglia are commonly used as a model to study the inflammatory processes in Parkinson's disease. Here we characterize microglia cultures from rat ventral midbrain and evaluate their response to zymosan A. We used specific markers of microglia and evaluated the morphology, the phag...
