UCSF researchers have identified ADGRG1, a microglial receptor that helps clear amyloid beta plaques in Alzheimer’s disease.

Without the receptor, ADGRG1, the microglia barely nibbled on the toxic protein. Using a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, ...

Microglia, a type of brain immune cell, can gobble up amyloid beta protein, which clumps together into toxic aggregates ...

Without the receptor, ADGRG1, the microglia barely nibbled on the toxic protein. Using a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease, the researchers observed how the loss of ADGRG1 led to the rapid buildup of ...

Scientists at UCSF have uncovered how certain immune cells in the brain, called microglia, can effectively digest toxic ...

UCSF scientists have discovered how microglia engulf and break down amyloid beta, a protein that builds up in Alzheimer's, ...

Early research shows replacing brain immune cells slows a rare brain disease, with potential implications for treating ...

In Alzheimer's disease, proteins like amyloid beta form clumps, known as plaques, that damage the brain.But in some people, ...

Research has found that immune cells called microglia play an essential role in determining how well tiny capillaries deliver blood and essential nourishment to our brains, and thus could be ...

New University of Virginia School of Medicine research suggests an unexpected way doctors may be able to improve blood flow ...

AND A SCIENTIST AT MRF HELPED TO UNCOVER A BIOLOGICAL LINK BETWEEN SUGARY DRINKS AND BRAIN DEVELOPMENT ISSUES, SHOWING THAT ...

SIGLEC 10 identified as a genetic driver for amyloid plaque formation in mice ONC-841 blockade reduced amyloid plaques, normalized microglia function, and improved memory in preclinical Alzheimer’s ...
