Chemotactic microglia migrate to the injury site, releasing inflammatory factors and oxidative metabolites like IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α, which compromise tissue stability and barrier integrity (17, 18) ...

A study led by Turkish researcher Pinar Ayata unveiled a critical mechanism involving microglia—specialized immune cells in the brain—that could open new avenues for treating Alzheimer's ...

Exciting findings from CUNY researchers reveal a novel target in the fight against Alzheimer’s — harmful microglia activated by cellular stress. This could lead to therapies that reverse the damaging ...

Commissions do not affect our editors' opinions or evaluations. The Owner’s Rewards Card by M1 is a no annual fee cash-back card with a twist. If you make a purchase with the card at any of the ...

A stretch of the M1 heading towards Nottinghamshire was closed this morning due to a vehicle fire. All lanes were shut on the northbound carriageway close to junction 22 (Markfield/Coalville ...

This discovery opens the door for targeted therapies to slow or stop Alzheimer’s progression by modulating microglial activity. Microglia’s stress response drives toxic lipid production linked to ...

Electron micrographs show typical microglia in the prefrontal cortex of a 92-year-old healthy female (left) and dark microglia a 91-year-old female patient with Alzheimer’s disease (right).

The study highlights microglia, the brain's primary immune cells, as central players in both the protective and harmful responses associated with the disease. Researchers with the Advanced Science ...
