Scientists are unraveling the role of senescent cells in a common form of epilepsy, and it could point to new treatments.

According to the data, when microglia activity in the brain was suppressed, baby mice were better able to recall fearful experiences.

Scientists have found that blocking microglia (specialist immune cells in the brain) prevents infant forgetting ("infantile amnesia") and improves memory in mice, suggesting that microglia may ...

An international research team led by Professor Kiavash Movahedi from the Brussels Center for Immunology at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel has published unexpected results in the journal Immunity.

Babies of every species from mouse to human rapidly forget things that happen to them-an effect called infantile amnesia. A type of brain immune cell called microglia might control this type of ...

The mini review brings together emerging evidence showing that glial cells actively influence disease progression and ...

Scientists discovered that lowering a specific molecule helps microglia switch into a protective state that quiets brain inflammation in Alzheimer’s. A small group of these cells seems to have an ...

Researchers have identified special immune cells in the brain that help slow Alzheimer’s. These microglia work to reduce inflammation and block the spread of harmful proteins. They appear to protect ...

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 ...
