A study by researchers from Fujita University reveals that hypernatremia enhances NFAT5 and NO production in microglia and minocycline mitigates this response. The image above is a schematic showing ...

Announcing a new article publication for BIO Integration journal. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder and the leading cause of dementia worldwide. Microglia, as central nervous ...

A research team led by Professor Jiwon Um from the Center for Synapse Diversity and Specificity at DGIST has discovered a ...

Findings reveal that microglia may serve as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of hyponatremia-related neurological dysfunctions and osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS) Low serum sodium ...

Researchers have identified a key role microglia play in the progression of melanoma brain metastases. A research team led by Berta Sanchez-Laorden at the Institute for Neurosciences (Alicante, Spain) ...

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 ...

Major depressive disorder affects hundreds of millions worldwide, but a key to understanding its origins may lie in the brain’s immune system. New findings spotlight astrocytes—previously overshadowed ...

New research from scientists at Trinity College Dublin could help explain why babies from multiple species, from mice to humans, are affected by infantile amnesia. The study, published in PLOS Biology ...

A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process to power their search-and-destroy missions. When immune cells rush to ...
