Inflammation is triggered by the immune system and is part of the body's natural response to injuries or disease. However, abnormal inflammation has recently been established as a hallmark for ...
Researchers at University of Tsukuba have discovered a novel mechanism involved in brain development. They found that small ...
Microglia and astrocytes each constitutively ... Cite this: Functional Interleukin-17 Receptor A is Expressed in Central Nervous System Glia and Upregulated in Experimental Autoimmune ...
A collision happens. Someone is hurt, a head injury, a concussion. Just as the first responders arrive to help the person, inside the brain, another "crew" of responders is busy clearing debris and ...
Researchers at University of Tsukuba have discovered a novel mechanism involved in brain development. They found that small fragments called micronuclei produced by neuronal nuclei are released into ...
Ncardia, a global leader in human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) technology, today announced the launch of Ncyte® ...
New research reveals that microglia respond differently in male and female brains for brain disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Methods: We used in vivo models of CNS inflammation and injury to study expression of MT-MMP and cytokine mRNA by real-time RT-PCR. Expression was also assessed in microglia sorted from CNS by ...
Microglia maintain neuronal function by clearing toxins in the brain and central nervous system. But if they are overactive, they can damage neurons instead and, in some cases, have been found to ...
