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 ...
A newly identified molecule called OLE helped restore the brain’s immune cells to a more protective state in Alzheimer’s ...
Immune cells in the brain called microglia can partially break down large amyloid plaques characteristic of Alzheimer's disease by latching on to them, forming a sort of external stomach and releasing ...
Discovery that microglia can be effectively replaced could transform cell therapy for brain diseases
An international research team led by Professor Kiavash Movahedi from the Brussels Center for Immunology at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel has published unexpected results in the journal Immunity.
Immune cells in the brain called microglia can partially break down large amyloid plaques characteristic of Alzheimer's disease by latching on to them, forming a sort of external stomach and releasing ...
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 ...
Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases, genetic disorders affecting the brain, have no effective treatment and are typically fatal within the first years of life. Scientists have reasoned that replacing the ...
Major depressive disorder is the leading cause of disability worldwide [1, 2] and approximately 30% of patients exhibit treatment resistance to conventional antidepressants, suggesting the involvement ...
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 ...
Chronic progression of multiple sclerosis (MS) is likely to develop on the basis of a highly complex interaction of different mechanisms, which are probably already present at disease onset. While ...
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 ...
Good managers set the tone for the whole team, encouraging positive behavior from everyone around them. In the November 5 Nature, scientists introduce a subtype of microglia that appears to do just ...
