Recent insights into glial engulfment across species in the contexts of function. In C. elegans sense-organ, glia dynamically engulf fragments of an associated neuron ending by repurposing components of the phagocytosis machinery. In the mouse thalamus, microglia engulf neuron fragments using IL-33 ligand and IL1RL1 receptor signaling. For color code, see Figure 1. ?, Indirect evidence.
