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

Summary: Unlike most tissues, the retina doesn’t summon neutrophils—the body’s typical first responders—when injured. Instead ...

During most eye infections or injuries, neutrophils, immune cells found in the blood, are usually the first line of defense.

Researchers demonstrated that systemic factors from young mice can rejuvenate the aging retina by alleviating cellular senescence and restoring function.

Emerging research positions TUDCA, a bile acid compound, as a promising neuroprotective agent against Alzheimer’s, ...

Nearly a year after her first mistrial, Karen Read's retrial jury questions hung jury implications when unanimous on two charges but divided on one.

A new study reveals how exercise influences major cell types in Alzheimer's disease, and points to potential targets for future therapies.

Hoping to one day replace dysfunctional microglia, or border-associated macrophages, with specialized cell therapies, scientists are increasingly trying to parse how the origin of a particular brain ...

This is where human microglia were grown from stem cells, manipulated to express different APOE versions, then transplanted into the brains of mice that had developed a buildup of amyloid plaques.

Cytokines are signaling proteins that coordinate immune responses and directly sensitize nerves involved in pain transmission. The microbiota also activated microglia, specialized immune cells in the ...
