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 ...

Microglia are known to play an important role in Alzheimer's disease, but exactly what they do has remained a mystery. Scientists in the Bart De Strooper Lab at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Genetic neurodegenerative disorders like Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff disease currently have no effective treatments. A possible strategy is replacing affected cells with healthy ones in order to slow the ...

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 ...

HIV infects certain cells in the brain called microglia, and infected microglia release toxic and inflammatory molecules that can impair or kill surrounding neurons. Researchers have been limited in ...

Good managers set the tone for the whole team, encouraging positive behavior from everyone around them. In the November 5 Nature, scientists introduce a subtype of microglia that appears to do just ...

While amyloid β plaques are hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), recent research suggests that they aren’t the only players in the neurodegenerative disorder. Genome-wide association studies and RNA ...
