Classically activated microglia (M1) are believed to play a key role in neuronal degeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS). In this issue of Immunity, Starossom et al. (2012) show that Galectin-1 exerts a neuroprotective function through glycosylation-dependent inactivation with M1 cells.
经典激活的小胶质细胞(M1)被认为在多发性硬化症(MS)中神经元变性中发挥关键作用。在本期《免疫》中,Starossom 等人(2012)表明半乳糖凝集素-1 通过与 M1 细胞的糖基化依赖性失活发挥神经保护功能。
