Researchers from Mass General Brigham and Washington University have found that Xenon gas inhalation reduces ...

Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia — it causes memory loss, confusion, thinking problems and behavioral changes.

Most treatments being pursued today to protect against Alzheimer’s disease focus on amyloid plaques and tau tangles that accumulate in the brain, but new research from Mass General Brigham and ...

Nuclear fusion and fission might sound similar, but they are fundamentally opposite processes. While nuclear fission breaks ...

Researchers have identified genetic variations in brain cells, particularly microglia and oligodendrocytes, that influence both aging and Alzheimer’s risk.

Therapeutic approaches target components of the peripheral immune system, such as regulatory T cells and monocytes, which in turn act within the CNS. Microglia are the primary immune cells in the ...

ICH is believed to cause brain injury through 2 main pathways. In contrast to the immediate primary injury of hematoma formation, which ensues from mechanical damage to surrounding brain tissue during ...

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 ...

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 ...

The study, published in the journal Neuron, says the brain’s primary immune cells — called microglia — play a key role in protecting the brain from the disease. Microglia are often dubbed ...
