Brain metastases are one of the most severe complications of melanoma, the most aggressive type of skin cancer. Researchers ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have discovered a novel mechanism involved in brain development. They found that small ...

This crew is called the microglia—the immune cells of the central nervous system. Microglia are imperative to maintaining neuronal function by clearing toxins in the brain and central nervous system.

New research reveals that microglia respond differently in male and female brains for brain disorders like Alzheimer's and ...

A collision happens. Someone is hurt, a head injury, a concussion. Just as the first responders arrive to help the person, inside the brain, another "crew" of responders is busy clearing debris and ...

A new study reveals the key role of microglia, brain’s immune cells, in brain metastases progression and identifies a ...

During development, there are known sex-related differences in how microglia function. But into adulthood, there was thought to be less variation in how they behave. Microglia maintain neuronal ...

Microglia are imperative to maintaining neuronal function by clearing toxins in the brain and central nervous system. But if they are overactive, they can damage neurons instead and, in some cases ...

Ncardia’s iPSC-derived microglia may aid ALS research and help to screen new therapies that target inflammation in ALS.
