Microglia modulate the cerebrovascular reactivity through ectonucleotidase CD39 by Zhongxiao Fu, Mallikarjunarao Ganesana, Philip Hwang, Xiao Tan, Melissa Marie Kinkaid, Yu-Yo Sun, Emily Bian, Aden Weybright, Hong-Ru Chen, Katia Sol-Church, Ukpong B. Eyo, Clare Pridans, Francisco J. Quintana, Simon C. Robson, Pankaj Kumar, B. Jill Venton, Anne Schaefer, Chia-Yi Kuan
