In this interview, Dr. Tilman explains the functions of iPSC-derived microglia and their relevance to conditions like Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. Microglia are the primary immune ...

Microglia are known to play an important role in Alzheimer's disease, but exactly what they do has remained a mystery. Scientists in the Bart De Strooper Lab at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & ...

Announcing a new article publication for BIO Integration journal. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Microglial receptor ADGRG1 helps immune cells eat amyloid plaques and may offer new hope for Alzheimer's treatment. (CREDIT: ...

You might well think that myelin, the fatty insulation that speeds action potentials between neurons, falls solely under the purview of oligodendrocytes. After all, these specialized cells wrap ...

Scientists broadly agree that both apolipoprotein E and microglia are necessary ingredients for amyloidosis. In mice devoid of ApoE, or of their microglia, scant plaques form. Now, a sweeping study ...

Though it may be a surprise to the millions of people who undergo general anesthesia every year for medical procedures, the biological mechanism for how different anesthetics block consciousness is ...

Researchers have unraveled how immune cells called microglia can transform and drive harmful processes like neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease. The study also integrates drug databases with real ...

Researchers find that microglia function differently in males versus females, potentially having broad implications for how neurological diseases are studied. A collision happens. Someone is hurt, a ...

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 ...
