Fig. 5: Microglial cumulative motility in the acute reaction phase.
From: Long-term microglial phase-specific dynamics during single vessel occlusion and recanalization

a Microglial cell body changes from round shape to filamentous-like shape and follows the filamentary path to get into occlusion core. Yellow arrowheads and dashed circles indicate representative microglia that underwent filamentous change. Insets are magnified images. White dashed circle indicates stationary microglia. Scale bars, 30 μm (overview) and 10 μm (inset). b Cyan and rosy arrowheads and dashed circles showing microglia with no filamentous deformation of the cell body migrating toward occlusion site. White dashed circle indicates stationary microglia. Scale bars, 30 μm (overview) and 10 μm (inset). c Purple arrowheads and dashed circles indicate disappeared microglia with no migration occurrence. White dashed circle indicates stationary microglia. Scale bar, 30 μm. d Cumulative mobility of microglia in response to occlusion during 24 h. Data are plotted as mean value, n = 4 mice.
