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

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Microglial receptor ADGRG1 helps immune cells eat amyloid plaques and may offer new hope for Alzheimer's treatment. (CREDIT: ...

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 ...

A new study, recently published in the journal Nature Communications, is leading to a new understanding of how immune cells ...

Researchers have unraveled how immune cells called microglia can transform and drive harmful processes like neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease. The study also integrates drug databases with real ...

Persistent inflammation may influence neurodegeneration through microglial activation, yet evidence remains hypothesis driven ...

Researchers have identified that microglia first help spread Alzheimer’s disease pathology across the brain and then activate to limit its neurodegenerative effects. Researchers from the VIB-KU Leuven ...

Shutting down the enzyme PTP1B helps brain immune cells clear plaques again, pointing to a potential new Alzheimer’s ...

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 ...
