Authors: Mei Liu, Lijuan Jiang, Min Wen, Yue Ke, Xiangzhen Tong, Weiyuan Huang, Rongqing Chen
From the authors: “Our study indicates that microglia are innately ready to quench acute seizures and protect neurons from excitotoxicity-induced degeneration.”
This study is highlighted as one of October’s “best of the best” as part of the American Physiological Society’s APSselect program.
