Central to this is the activation of tissue resident microglia and infiltration of peripheral macrophages, which phagocytose debris and/or secrete a range of cytokines, chemokines and oth- er factors which modify the injured environment to promote or inhibit repair (Schwartz et al., 2013). The reactive macro- phages/microglia are broadly divided into two categories.展开更多
