They also found that microglia, which are resident immune cells in the brain, incorporate these micronuclei, thereby altering ...

To investigate the effect of LS, the team chose microglial cell lines (BV-2 or 6–3). They found that a decrease in sodium ...

Boosting Klotho protein levels in mice improves physical and cognitive aging, offering potential for future longevity ...

Microglial cells are a specialised population of macrophages that are found in the central nervous system (CNS). They remove damaged neurons and infections and are important for maintaining the ...

Microglia are the brain's resident immune cells. Their job is to patrol the brain's blood vessels looking for invading pathogens to gobble up. But what happens when they go rogue?

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 ...

The brain's immune system is getting attention at the Society for Neuroscience in Chicago. A lot of research is now focused on the interaction of neurons, glial cells and other immune cells.

The brain is shielded from many substances by the blood-brain barrier, but this shield is not impenetrable. There are immune cells in the brain called microglia that can respond to potential invaders ...

A recent breakthrough by scientists at the University of California, San Francisco, offers a fresh and promising path toward ...

Even a bunch of brain cells on a culture plate can show evidence of learning, but what we didn't realize was that the same is true for other types of human cells, like these kidney-derived cells.

30 Apr 2025. Cytotoxic T cells are star players in the adaptive immune system, enforcing protection against invading viruses or cancer cells. However, evidence has been mounting that the cells may ...

Scientists achieved “a milestone” by charting the activity and structure of 200,000 cells in a mouse brain and their 523 million connections. Skip to content Skip to site index ...
