説明
<p>Tissue-resident macrophages perform indispensable functions in the development, maintenance, and repair of tissues. Microglia are the primary resident immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS), functioning as intracerebral macrophages distributed throughout the brain parenchyma. In addition to microglia, there is another, less well-characterized type of macrophage known as CNS border-associated macrophages (CAMs), and the existence of these cells has been recognized for several decades. With recent advances in research technologies, an increasing number of studies have focused on CAMs, and our understanding of them has begun to improve. In this article, we review the cellular characteristics and functions of CAMs that have been elucidated thus far, with a particular focus on the similarities and differences between CAMs and microglia.</p>
