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

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 ...

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.

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

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 ...

Scientists provide new evidence that preventing brain inflammation is a promising approach for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Their findings, based on studies in cell culture, mice and tissue ...

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.

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 ...

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

Scientists from DZNE, University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn provide new evidence that preventing brain inflammation is a promising approach for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease ...
