Immune cells in the brain called microglia can partially break down large amyloid plaques characteristic of Alzheimer's ...

Microglia can partially break down amyloid plaques by "spitting" a digestive enzyme at them, a new study has found.

This study describes a valuable new model for in vivo manipulation of microglia, exploring how mutations in the Adar1 gene within microglia contribute to Aicardi-Goutières Syndome. The methodology is ...

Microglia have been revealed to first help spread Alzheimer’s disease pathology across the brain and then activate to limit ...

Mild traumatic brain injury leads to reactivation of herpes simplex virus type 1, which may promote neurodegeneration and ...
