Tumor-associated macrophages/microglia are the main infiltrate in gliomas, comprising up to 40% of the tumor mass. [22] TAMs are either of peripheral origin (macrophages) or representing brain-intrinsic, yolk sac -derived microglia , that create a supportive stroma for neoplastic cell expansion and invasion. [ 21 ]
Activation of microglia places a load on the anabolic and catabolic machinery of the cells causing activated microglia to die sooner than non-activated cells. [40] To compensate for microglial loss over time, microglia undergo mitosis and bone marrow derived progenitor cells migrate into the brain via the meninges and vasculature.
In the healthy central nervous system, microglia processes constantly sample all aspects of their environment (neurons, macroglia and blood vessels). In a healthy brain, microglia direct the immune response to brain damage and play an important role in the inflammation that accompanies the damage.

Micrograph showing gliosis in the cerebellum. Reactive astrocytes on the left display severe proliferation and domain overlap. Reactive astrogliosis is the most common form of gliosis and involves the proliferation of astrocytes, a type of glial cell responsible for maintaining extracellular ion and neurotransmitter concentrations, modulating synapse function, and forming the blood–brain ...
After analyzing the 30-year data, the researchers found approximately half of the participants had died, with only 9% surviving to age 70 or older free of disease and unimpaired physical and ...
