Researchers have developed engineered human microglia that detect disease-related brain changes and release therapeutic ...

Now, researchers have harnessed the power of a resident drug courier, i.e., microglia. Researchers genetically engineered human iPSC-microglia to deliver neprilysin when the cells are near amyloid ...

A new way to deliver disease-fighting proteins throughout the brain may improve the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other neurological disorders, according to scientists. By engineering human ...

Microglia can be engineered to detect disease-specific brain changes – like amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s disease – and ...

Microglia can engage in phagocytosis, and are involved in immune responses within, as well as the development and remodelling of the nervous system. Their shape varies depending on the ...

Increased expression of Lyn and increased Lyn activity is seen in microglia more than bone marrow–derived macrophages and more in females than males in murine and human 3‐dimensional brain‐in‐a‐dish ...

Microplastics and nanoplastics might interact with the plaque that causes heart attacks and strokes. A new study found high levels of plastic in the arterial plaque of stroke and vision-loss patients.

Tiny pieces of plastic are infiltrating the large arteries in the neck that carry blood from the heart to the head, with the highest amounts found in fatty buildup in the arteries of stroke ...
