This Research Topic is part of the 15 Year Anniversary of Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience Research Topic series, which has been organized in collaboration with the Neuroscience portfolio at Frontiers to celebrate the 15 Year Anniversary of the journal by highlighting some of the most impactful research areas in this field and providing discussion around the latest advances in Microglia research as well as new research on this important topic.
By following its mission to freely disseminate high-quality research with a worldwide reach, Frontiers in Non-neuronal cells will continue to play a key role in accelerating the progress of Cellular Neuroscience research and making Open Science a global reality.
This Research Topic article collection focuses on Microglia origin and phenotypic diversity. This is a relatively new and exciting area of research that Frontiers is excited to host a Research Topic on.
The Research Topic welcome contributions from researchers around the globe in the form of Original Research, Review, Mini Review, and Perspectives focusing on, but not limited to the following subtopics:
• Origin of brain microglia
• Factors required for microglial development and homeostasis
• Cell signalling pathways required for microglial proliferation and maturation
• Cell signalling pathways required for microglial homeostasis
• Physiological functions of microglia in brain development and beyond
• Heterogeneity of Tissue Macrophages
• the dual natures of neurotoxicity and neuroprotection
• Crosstalk between microglia and other brain cells
• Heterogeneity of Microglial Responses and Responders
