microglia cell lines

Microglia represent the main immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS), and their functions are similar to macrophages. Microglia are involved in the synaptic organization, vegetative neuron support during development, phagocytosis of apoptotic cells in the developing brain, remyelination, control of neuronal excitability, phagocytic debris removal, and brain protection and repair. Since microglia play a key role in neuroinflammation, such as brain and spinal cord injury, ischemic stroke, infection and neurodegenerative diseases, detailed cellular biological exploration of microglia is therefore of pivotal importance.

Creative Biolabs provides a variety of ready-to-use stem cell-derived microglia cell lines of mouse, rat, rhesus macaque and human origin. Our rat microglia are ideal for studying aging and age-related neurodegeneration diseases and other diseases.
