Researchers at University of Tsukuba have discovered a novel mechanism involved in brain development. They found that small fragments called micronuclei produced by neuronal nuclei are released into ...

Microglia are immune cells in the central ... They remove damaged or unnecessary neurons, prune synapses during development ...

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

During development, there are known sex-related differences in how microglia function. But into adulthood, there was thought to be less variation in how they behave. Microglia maintain neuronal ...

Microglia can engage in phagocytosis, and are involved in immune responses within, as well as the development and remodelling of the nervous system. Their shape varies depending on the ...

Researchers investigate the sex-dependent microglial response to a colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) inhibitor.

Ncardia, a global leader in human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) technology, today announced the launch of Ncyte® ...
