Summary: A collaborative neurobiology study uncovered a cellular mechanism tied to the severe, rapid progression of multiple sclerosis (MS). Published by a multidisciplinary team analyzing human ...

A researcher with the Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer's and Neurodegenerative Diseases at UT Health San Antonio has received a two-year, $402,500 grant award from the Cure Alzheimer's Fund to ...

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 incredible ...

Conventional wisdom holds that microglia are the main phagocytes of the brain, mopping up dead cells and debris. The reality is more complicated, according to scientists led by Jaime Grutzendler at ...

Please can you introduce yourself and tell us about your research background and interests, as well as why you decided to conduct your latest study? At the time of publication, I was a post-doc in the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Are microglia the masterminds of amyloid plaque formation? In the August 21 Nature Communications, researchers led by Kim Green at the University of California, Irvine, suggest these cells seed ...

New study shows that microglia cells 'listen in' to neighboring neurons and change to match them. From everyday actions like walking and talking to feats of athletic or academic excellence, the brain ...
