Dancing with glia: The role of astrocytes, microglia and oligodendrocytes and their relation with neurons in neuroinflammation and aging

Abstract

This review provides an original overview of glial cells functions on the central nervous system and their relationship withneuroinflammation. We decided to correlate astrocytes, microglia and oligodendrocytes functions with neurons interplay, and refer it toTango genre and dance. Furthermore, this revision summarizes studies that support the roles of glial cells in neuroinflammation underdifferent conditions, such as aging and main neurodegenerative diseases in particular, Parkinson?s Disease and Alzheimer?s Disease.
