Microglia

Results confirm positive signal previously reported in the first two Expanded Access patients who both subsequently demonstrated clinical improvementsPhase 2a trial in na-SPMS on track to…

A research team, affiliated with UNIST has identified a new type of microglia associated with stroke in the ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injured brain. This breakthrough has been led by…

Microglia acts as the first line of defense in the central nervous system, constantly scanning for pathogens and abnormalities and releasing small proteins called cytokines to help wade off…

New research published today by the University of Southampton shows new insight in how our brain develops, that can pave the way for treating neurological disorders. For the first time, a…

From everyday actions like walking and talking to feats of athletic or academic excellence, the brain is constantly acquiring and seamlessly processing information to produce these…

"APOE4 is a major genetic risk factor, and many people carry it, so the hope is that by studying APOE4, that will also provide a bigger picture of the fundamental pathophysiology of…

One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is a reduction in the firing of some neurons in the brain, which contributes to the cognitive decline that patients experience. A new study from…

The poor function of microglia, the brain's immune cells in individuals exposed to early life adversity (ELA) promotes aberrant responses to stress in adulthood that may be linked to mental…

"Much of neuroscience and study of brain diseases has focused on the brain's neurons. This study highlights that in addition to neurons, other brain cells, and especially…

Neural stem cells (responsible for new neurons) are found to exist even after birth in the mammalian brain. Moreover, where microglia (neuronal support cell/glia) is responsible for the…
