UCSF researchers have identified ADGRG1, a microglial receptor that helps clear amyloid beta plaques in Alzheimer’s disease.

Without the receptor, ADGRG1, the microglia barely nibbled on the toxic protein. Using a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, ...

Microglia, a type of brain immune cell, can gobble up amyloid beta protein, which clumps together into toxic aggregates ...

Without the receptor, ADGRG1, the microglia barely nibbled on the toxic protein. Using a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease, the researchers observed how the loss of ADGRG1 led to the rapid buildup of ...

Scientists at UCSF have uncovered how certain immune cells in the brain, called microglia, can effectively digest toxic ...

As you age, maintaining a daily habit of walking can prevent cognitive decline, especially for those most at risk, a new ...

UCSF scientists have discovered how microglia engulf and break down amyloid beta, a protein that builds up in Alzheimer's, ...

In Alzheimer's disease, proteins like amyloid beta form clumps, known as plaques, that damage the brain.But in some people, ...

Scientists at UCSF have identified a brain receptor, ADGRG1, that helps immune cells clear toxic plaques linked to ...

The Alzheimer's Association® will present 10 scientific awards at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference® 2025 (AAIC®), recognizing researchers for their expertise, noteworthy ...
