Ongoing research aims to better understand microglial function and develop new therapies. Studies focus on:
- Modulating Microglial Activity: Finding ways to either activate or inhibit microglia to treat various conditions. - Microglial Markers: Identifying biomarkers that can indicate microglial activation and help in diagnosing diseases. - Neuroinflammation: Understanding how microglia contribute to neuroinflammation and finding ways to control it.
