Fig. 2From: The role of microglia in viral encephalitis: a reviewIllustration of the pro-inflammatory role of microglia in viral encephalitis. The picture shows some harmful effects of microglia in viral encephalitis, such as mediating presynaptic membrane damage, causing fetal congenital malformations, and exacerbating the damage of CNS in HIV encephalitis. Microglia play an uncertain role in virus-induced Aβ. The role of the RIPK3 signaling pathway in microglia in viral encephalitis remains obscureBack to article page
