Abstract
Microglia exhibit high metabolic flexibility and can utilize various nutrients for their functions.
- Microglia can change their metabolic processes in response to immune triggers and inflammatory conditions.
- Altered metabolism in microglia is associated with neuroinflammation and may play a role in diseases like Alzheimer's.
- Recent studies have identified connections between metabolic changes in microglia and risk genes linked to neurodegenerative diseases.
- Understanding these metabolic dysregulations in microglia could reveal new targets for treatment.
