For a long time, neuroscientists treated this forgetting as a cognitive glitch or a simple lack of brainware maturity. But a ...
Scientists have found that blocking microglia (specialist immune cells in the brain) prevents infant forgetting ("infantile ...
According to the data, when microglia activity in the brain was suppressed, baby mice were better able to recall fearful experiences.
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 ...
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 ...
In this interview, Dr. Tilman explains the functions of iPSC-derived microglia and their relevance to conditions like Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. Microglia are the primary immune ...
Ever since loss-of-function variants in the gene for PILRA, short for paired immunoglobulin-like type 2 receptor alpha, turned up as protecting against Alzheimer’s disease, scientists have wondered ...
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 ...
New research has identified that neuroinflammation driven by microglia (immune cells in the brain) is a primary underlying ...
While amyloid β plaques are hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), recent research suggests that they aren’t the only players in the neurodegenerative disorder. Genome-wide association studies and RNA ...
