ABSTRACT
Microglia, a type of neuroglia, has a variety of functions such as phagocytosis, clearance, antigen presentation,promotion of repairment of injury and secretion of extracellular signaling molecules,in which phagocytosis of microglia plays a crucial role in maintaining brain tissue,remodeling synapses,clearance of several aberrant proteins such as amyloid β in neurodegenerative diseases, and in neurodevelopment. This review briefly summarizes the phagocytic function of microglia with underlying regulatory mechanism in neurodevelopment and neurodegenerative diseases,aiming to provide a new thought for the therapy of neurodegenerative diseases.
