Microglia have distinct morphologies depending on where they reside in the mouse brain, according to a novel approach that reveals nuances about the cells’ shape. That form also changes with ...

Microglia are essential for maintenance of normal brain function, with dysregulation contributing to numerous neurological diseases. Protocols have been developed to derive microglia-like cells from ...

An international research team, comprising scientists from DZNE, University Hospital Bonn, the Netherlands, and the US has been awarded a US$ 1.3 million grant by the "Human Frontier Science Program" ...

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 ...

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 ...

Microglia seem to play a hand in every aspect of Alzheimer’s pathogenesis, from the seeding and clearing of plaques to the traveling of tau to the dying of neurons. Scientists are pursuing ...

The scientific diet at this year’s International Conference on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, March 28 to April 1 in Gothenburg, was especially rich in news about the ins and outs of the ...
