The kick-off signal for puberty begins in the brain. Specifically, in the hypothalamus, where specific neurons release a ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how calcium signaling channels in microglia—the primary immune cells of the brain—regulate neuroinflammation and promote the development of behaviors ...

Microglia (immune cells) and the RANK protein are essential for triggering puberty and maintaining fertility in the brain.

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

Immune cells in the brain called microglia can partially break down large amyloid plaques characteristic of Alzheimer's disease by latching on to them, forming a sort of external stomach and releasing ...

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 ...

A study by researchers from Fujita University reveals that hypernatremia enhances NFAT5 and NO production in microglia and minocycline mitigates this response. The image above is a schematic showing ...

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 ...

Loss and dysfunction of synapses have been linked to age-related cognitive decline and observed in Alzheimer's and other ...

A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process to power their search-and-destroy missions. When immune cells rush to ...
