Study on the effect of shikonin on CD36 expressionand phagocytic ability of microglia in the isolated cerebralhaemorrhage model

Shikonin can enhance the CD36 expression and the ability to phagocytose erythrocyte of microglia. Simultaneously, shikonin performs protective effects on neuronal cells and promotes the absorption of haematoma. Therefore, shikonin is probably an innovative medicine to treat cerebral haemorrhage.
