Abstract
Microglia, immune sentinels of the central nervous system (CNS), play a critical role in maintaining its health and integrity. This chapter delves into the concept of immunometabolism, exploring how microglial metabolism shapes their diverse immune functions. It examines the impact of cell metabolism on microglia during various CNS states, including homeostasis, development, aging, and inflammation. Particularly in CNS inflammation, the chapter discusses how metabolic rewiring in microglia can initiate, resolve, or perpetuate inflammatory responses. The potential of targeting microglial metabolism as a therapeutic strategy for chronic CNS disorders with prominent innate immune cell activation is also explored.
