The figure’s x-axis compares two subpopulations of microglia cells (the brain’s ‘waste disposal team’.) One group causes inflammation; the other group repairs damage. The figure’s y-axis shows that the T-cell receptor signaling pathway (a known major immune-regulatory mechanism) is significantly more active in the blue cells repairing damaged tissue. On the other hand, the immune system is relatively suppressed in the red cells causing inflammation.
