The importance of the effector functions performed by glial cells, the resident cells of the CNS possessing immune functions, in abrogating potentially fatal neurotropic [...]

Viral central nervous system (CNS) infections can lead to life threatening encephalitis and long-term neurological deficits in survivors. Resident CNS cell types, such a[...]

Resident brain cells recognize pathogens and can initiate and/or regulate inflammation. Indeed, we have shown that stimulated glial cells rapidly produce inflammatory me[...]
