Popis: Mononuclear macrophages derived from the bone marrow (myeloid cells) are key cellular components of the innate immune system in different organs. In this mini-review, we are focused on both brain and blood macrophages known as microglia and monocytes, respectively. We provide a succinct summary of the cells9 functions under both normal and pathological conditions, with particular reference to common neurodegenerative disorders, Alzheimer9s and Parkinson9s disease. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT In this mini-review we aim to summarize available literature on microglial and myeloid involvement in CNS disease, directing the reader towards relevant and translatable interpretations of myeloid cell function in CNS health and neurodegeneration.
