Abstract
Neuroinflammation is a complex immune response to brain trauma and disease ([Filipov, 2019][1]). Over the past 2 decades, researchers have determined that microglia are one of the key initiators of inflammatory reactions in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD; [Filipov, 2019
