Microglia can alter their properties to adopt a wide spectrum of cellular phenotypes. Here, the authors show that remodeling of microglial mitochondria accompanies microglial responses to challenges and aging, and provide evidence that these organelles play a role in regulating basal microglial morphology, gene expression, and inflammatory profile.
