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

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 ...

New research suggests that compulsive behavior may be less about willpower failure and more about inflammation quietly disrupting the brain’s reward and habit circuits. While the idea of “hidden brain ...

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 ...

A study by researchers from Fujita University reveals that hypernatremia enhances NFAT5 and NO production in microglia and minocycline mitigates this response. The image above is a schematic showing ...

Findings reveal that microglia may serve as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of hyponatremia-related neurological dysfunctions and osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS) Low serum sodium ...

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) ...

The study reveals that hippocampal microglia actively regulate adult neurogenesis. When TGF-beta signaling is absent, ...

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 ...
