Brain metastases are one of the most severe complications of melanoma, the most aggressive type of skin cancer. Researchers ...

Ncardia’s iPSC-derived microglia may aid ALS research and help to screen new therapies that target inflammation in ALS.

A collision happens. Someone is hurt, a head injury, a concussion. Just as the first responders arrive to help the person, inside the brain, another "crew" of responders is busy clearing debris and ...

New research reveals that microglia respond differently in male and female brains for brain disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Inflammation is triggered by the immune system and is part of the body's natural response to injuries or disease. However, abnormal inflammation has recently been established as a hallmark for ...

Previous studies on the brain revealed that most of the CNS diseases affected by the gut microbiome are closely associated with microglial dysfunction. Microglia, the major CNS-resident macrophages, ...

Microglia are a type of small macrophage-like glial cell in the central nervous system. Microglia can engage in phagocytosis, and are involved in immune responses within, as well as the ...

Researchers have unveiled transformative insights into the relationship between inflammation and depression, a finding that ...

Multifaceted reliable evidence indicated that schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental disorder. Microglia, the immune cells in central nervous system, related to many neurodevelopmental diseases.

Summary: Microglia, the brain’s immune cells, play vital roles in clearing toxins and maintaining neuronal health but can also contribute to neurodegenerative diseases if overactive. New research ...
