Scientists discovered that lowering a specific molecule helps microglia switch into a protective state that quiets brain inflammation in Alzheimer’s. A small group of these cells seems to have an ...

A new way to deliver disease-fighting proteins throughout the brain may improve the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other neurological disorders, according to scientists. By engineering human ...

(Left) Correction of pathogenic Csf1r mutation by Mr BMT effectively rescues pathological changes in the brain, motor impairment and cognitive decline in ALSP mice. (Right) tBMT-mediated microglia ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a highly debilitating neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive loss of memory and decline of mental functions. Earlier research has uncovered some of the ...

For years, researchers considered Alzheimer’s disease (AD) an amyloid beta and neuron-related condition. But having trained as a pathologist, Thomas Montine, who is now a neuropathology researcher at ...

The timeline of microglia replacement evolution and its technical preparation in the pre-replacement era is summarized in this figure. Tiny charming immune cells called microglia protect the central ...

It’s hard to overstate how crucial microglia are to brain health. These humble immune cells quietly patrol the central nervous system, clearing debris, pruning synapses, and maintaining myelin. But ...

New research suggests that compulsive behavior may be less about willpower failure and more about inflammation quietly disrupting the brain’s reward and habit circuits. While the idea of “hidden brain ...
