The ‘youth protein’ that protects brain cells from age-related decline - Discovery may potentially lead to future treatments ...

A new review charts how stem cell-derived human microglia, brain organoids and chimeric mice are overcoming the genetic and ...

A Cleveland Clinic research team studying alcohol and the brain discovered a new way that alcohol abuse can cause brain ...

(Eugene Mymrin/Moment RF/Getty Images) It's well known that alcohol has profound consequences on the way the brain works, and ...

A new study shows the natural chalcone cardamonin calms LPS-activated microglia by suppressing the ...

Microglia are a type of small macrophage-like glial cell in the central nervous system. Microglia can engage in phagocytosis, and are involved in immune responses within, as well as the development ...

Researchers at the Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet have taken an important step toward understanding how microglia, the brain's immune cells, change with age and how these ...

Researchers at the University of Oxford have uncovered a previously unrecognized protective role for microglia, the brain's resident immune cells, in Parkinson's disease. The study shows that a ...

Immune cells in the brain called microglia can partially break down large amyloid plaques characteristic of Alzheimer's disease by latching on to them, forming a sort of external stomach and releasing ...

Immune cells called microglia act as the brain’s cleanup crew, patrolling the networks, engulfing invaders, and pruning connections to maintain brain health. 1 Intrigued by the cells’ diverse roles, ...

The idea that infiltrating T cells contribute to a neurodegenerative environment in aging and in Alzheimer’s disease has gotten another boost. In the June 27 Nature Neuroscience, scientists led by ...
