Role of microglia in pathogenesis of depression: An update / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Depression is a common clinical mental disease and has posed a serious threat to human health. Recent studies have found that immune-effecting microglia is closely related to the occurrence of depression. Microglia induces depression through a variety of inflammatory and non-inflammatory mechanisms. It is of great significance to study the role of microglia in the occurrence of depression, which can help to explore new targets of depression treatment and novel antidepressants.
