Researchers at University of Tsukuba have discovered that an immunosuppressive drug affects microglia, the resident immune ...

A study in mice suggests infantile amnesia is not a failure of memory, but a developmentally useful process guided by brain immune cells.

Blocking microglia prevents infant forgetting and improves memory in mice, suggesting they play a key role in memory formation.

Move over, amyloid, reactive astrocytes and activated microglia may be the main drivers of the Alzheimer’s disease pathological cascade. In the November 6 Nature Neuroscience, scientists led by Pedro ...

The idea that infiltrating T cells contribute to a neurodegenerative environment in aging and in Alzheimer’s disease has gotten another boost. In the June 27 Nature Neuroscience, scientists led by ...

Brain tissue analysis shows reactive microglia in Parkinson’s disease overexpress Fc gamma receptors, which may lead to inappropriate elimination of functional dopaminergic neurons. These findings ...
