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 ...

A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process ...

Home to billions of cells that form trillions of connections, the human brain isn’t just the body’s most important organ, it’s also the hardest to study. But an international team of scientists using ...

Immunotherapy that blocks microglial Fcγ receptors prevents dopaminergic neuron loss in Parkinson’s disease, revealing a potential new strategy.

As we age, we begin to lose the connections that wire up our brains-and neuroscientists aren't sure why. It is increasingly clear, though, that the loss of synapses-the flexible and adaptive relay ...

From anemia to leukemia, unhealthy cells can make for unhealthy people, but replacing these cells can help patients. What if the same were true for some of the world’s most devastating neurological ...
