Findings reveal that microglia may serve as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of hyponatremia-related neurological dysfunctions and osmotic demyelination syndrome (ODS) Low serum sodium ...

Neurodegenerative diseases, traditionally viewed as driven by neuronal decline, are increasingly recognized to involve ...

Immune-regulating brain cells known as microglia are known to play a role in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Investigators at Brigham and Women’s Hospital studying the genetics of ...

Major depressive disorder affects hundreds of millions worldwide, but a key to understanding its origins may lie in the brain’s immune system. New findings spotlight astrocytes—previously overshadowed ...

In chronic neurodegeneration associated with prion disease, reactive microglia adopt a highly mobile, neuron-by-neuron surveillance strategy, replacing homeostatic process-based monitoring with ...

“This is a paradigm shift,” says Donn Van Deren, PhD, postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, who ...

Rather than giving them more gas, can microglia be driven to clear amyloid plaques by letting up on their brakes? Yes, say scientists led by Marco Colonna at Washington University in St. Louis. In the ...

More than 7 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, and two-thirds of them are women, according to the Alzheimer's ...
