Once in the nervous parenchyma, microglial cells increase in number and disperse throughout the CNS; these cells finally differentiate to become fully ramified microglial cells. In this article we review present knowledge on these phases of microglial development and the factors that probably influence them.}, publisher = {Academia Brasileira de Ciências}, keywords = {Microglia}, keywords = {Hematopoietic lineage}, keywords = {Meninges}, keywords = {Migration}, keywords = {Proliferation}, title = {Entry, dispersion and differentiation of microglia in the developing central nervous system}, author = {Navascués Martínez, Julio and Calvente Iglesias, Ruth and Marín-Teva, José Luis and Cuadros Ojeda, Miguel Ángel}, }
