Selective activation of microglia in spinal cord but not higher cortical regions following nerve injury in adult mouse-6

Jecting processes which are long, thin with fine ramifications. (C) Hypertrophied cell has large soma and thick, short and radially projecting processes with fewer ramifications. (D) Mono-polarized microglia (arrow) has one main process (arrowhead) which is thick and projects toward one direction. (E, F) Bipolarized microglia (arrow) usually has spindle-like cell body and two main processes emanating from the opposing poles of the cell body and projecting in opposite directions. Bar = 10 μm in A-C, 20 μm in D-F.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Selective activation of microglia in spinal cord but not higher cortical regions following nerve injury in adult mouse"</p><p>http://www.molecularpain.com/content/4/1/15</p><p>Molecular Pain 2008;4():15-15.</p><p>Published online 18 Apr 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2374773.</p><p>
