However, a growing body of evidence supports the importance of CNS resident glial populations in the initiation, propagation, and regulation of inflammation. To provide insight into this fascinating development, this issue of Seminars in Immunopathology focuses on the functions of glial cells in the CNS during development, homeostasis, and disease. …
