"The state of dark microglia was a purely morphological description made by Marie-Ève Tremblay in 2016, but no one understood ...

Microglia, the brain’s primary immune cells of the central nervous system, play a key role in maintaining neural homeostasis and responding to pathogenic ...

Part of the challenge of delivering treatments for Alzheimer's and other diseases linked to the brain is getting past the ...

Microglia are a type of small macrophage-like ... Their shape varies depending on the developmental and functional state, and anatomical location. Animals alternate between active periods and ...

Researchers have developed engineered human microglia that detect disease-related brain changes and release therapeutic ...

LI Hanjie from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed the presence of microglia in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and identified ...

Their study sheds new light on the possibility of effectively replacing defective microglia—the brain's immune cells—marking a potential breakthrough in the treatment of neurodegenerative ...

Scientists study the functions of microglia by transcriptomics. This method provides dynamic information about genes that are ...

While investigating if microglia, the resident immune cells of the brain, and neurons communicate through TNTs, Zurzolo and her team uncovered a protective role for microglia in neurodegenerative ...

The blood-brain barrier border protects the brain by regulating the flow of molecules, peptides, and cells, but it also keeps out many therapeutics. Now, researchers have harnessed the power of a ...
