What's more, several studies suggest that some people with schizophrenia seem to have more active microglia — immune cells found in the brain — than people without the condition.

Outside of the brain, cytokines are released by immune cells fighting infections, and they can alter MHCI expression in a complicated feedback loop.

A dense layer of cells called the blood - brain barrier protects the organ from germs circulating in the body, and from the immune cells that combat them.

Until now, microglia have been dismissed as simple immune cells that do little more than protect brain cells from damage and tidy up in the aftermath of disease.
