ATP release during cell swelling activates a Ca2+-dependent Cl− current by autocrine mechanism in mouse hippocampal microglia
Abstract Microglia cells, resident immune cells of the brain, survey brain parenchyma by dynamically extending and retracting their processes. Cl− channels, activated in the cellular response to stretch/swelling, take part in several functions deeply connected with microglia physiology, including ce...
