N-arachidonoyl glycine, an abundant endogenous lipid, potently drives directed cellular migration through GPR18, the putative abnormal cannabidiol receptor

Abstract Background: Microglia provide continuous immune surveillance of the CNS and upon activation rapidly change phenotype to express receptors that…
