Rosa Chiara Paolicelli's team at the Department of Biomedical Sciences of Unil uncovered a new role for the TDP-43 protein in controlling the function of microglia, the immune cells of the brain.

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have identified small nuclear fragments known as micronuclei while studying neurons ...

Organoids have revolutionized science and medicine, providing platforms for disease modeling, drug testing, and understanding developmental processes. While not exact replicas of human organs, they ...

Alzheimer's sleep loss stems from overactive microglia, not amyloid plaques, a University of Kentucky study in Alzheimer's & ...

While amyloid β plaques are hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), recent research suggests that they aren’t the only players in the neurodegenerative disorder. Genome-wide association studies and RNA ...

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: ...

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 ...

After a stroke, microglia transform into a reparative workforce. They release growth factors, coax synapses to regrow, and nudge damaged axons to remyelinate. Alas, this spontaneous recovery process ...

A collision happens. Someone is hurt, a head injury, a concussion. Just as the first responders arrive to help the person, inside the brain, another “crew” of responders is busy clearing debris and ...

In the search for answers about Alzheimer’s disease, researchers are taking a close look at the immune system of the brain. A new study uncovers how a key immune cell, called a microglia, might be the ...
