Researchers at University of Tsukuba have discovered a novel mechanism involved in brain development. They found that small ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Microglia also drive immune responses that promote recovery after demyelinating injury in the central nervous system. Microglial function has also been linked to mitochondrial function ...

This crew is called the microglia - the immune cells of the central nervous system. Microglia are imperative to maintaining neuronal function by clearing toxins in the brain and central nervous ...

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

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

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