Brain macrophages serve diversified niches in the brain to maintain the organ’s homeostasis, and can play pathogenic roles in age-related brain disease. Hoping to one day replace dysfunctional ...
Tiny immune cells called microglia protect the central nervous system (CNS) in a multitude of ways: They provide innate immunity, shape neurodevelopment, maintain homeostasis and modulate neurological ...
Adult-onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia (ALSP) is a progressive neurological disease with an average age of onset at 43 years and an average life expectancy of only ...
It’s hard to overstate how crucial microglia are to brain health. These humble immune cells quietly patrol the central nervous system, clearing debris, pruning synapses, and maintaining myelin. But ...
The timeline of microglia replacement evolution and its technical preparation in the pre-replacement era is summarized in this figure. Tiny charming immune cells called microglia protect the central ...
The idea that infiltrating T cells contribute to a neurodegenerative environment in aging and in Alzheimer’s disease has gotten another boost. In the June 27 Nature Neuroscience, scientists led by ...
