General Information
Term microglia differentiation ID (Ontology) GO:0014004 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a microglial cell. Microglia are glial cells that act as the immune cells of the central nervous system. They form part of the supporting structure of this system.
Also Known As "microglial cell differentiation"
