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 ...

Tiny immune cells called microglia protect the central nervous system (CNS) in a multitude of ways: They provide innate immunity, shape neurodevelopment, maintain homeostasis and modulate neurological ...

Researchers have identified special immune cells in the brain that help slow Alzheimer’s. These microglia work to reduce inflammation and block the spread of harmful proteins. They appear to protect ...

Irvine, Calif., April 21, 2025 — A new way to deliver disease-fighting proteins throughout the brain may improve the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological disorders, according to ...

A researcher with the Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer's and Neurodegenerative Diseases at UT Health San Antonio has ...

A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process to power their search-and-destroy missions. When immune cells rush to ...

Scientists at Cedars-Sinai have uncovered a surprising repair system in the spinal cord that could open new doors for treating paralysis, stroke, and diseases like multiple sclerosis. They found that ...

Researchers have identified a key role microglia play in the progression of melanoma brain metastases. A research team led by Berta Sanchez-Laorden at the Institute for Neurosciences (Alicante, Spain) ...

Inflammation is triggered by the immune system and is part of the body’s natural response to injuries or disease. However, abnormal inflammation has recently been established as a hallmark for ...
