In the search for answers about Alzheimer’s disease, researchers are taking a close look at the immune system of the brain. A new study uncovers how a key immune cell, called a microglia, might be the ...

Left: In the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus of 4-5 month-old Rp58 heterozygous-KO mice, DNA damage accumulates in the mossy cells (yellow-green) (ssDNA; red), and the surrounding microglia (blue) ...
