Microglia appears not to function correctly in brains with Alzheimer’s disease Research headed up by neuroscientists Katherine Prater and Kevin Green at the University of Washington using brain ...

An inert and unreactive gas may not seem like an obvious candidate for treating Alzheimer's disease, yet a new study in mice ...

Xenon is one of the six noble gases. Its name derives from the Greek word for “strange”. In medicine, it has been used as an ...

New research reveals that microglia respond differently in male and female brains for brain disorders like Alzheimer's and ...

A collision happens. Someone is hurt, a head injury, a concussion. Just as the first responders arrive to help the person, ...

In diseases like Alzheimer's, microglia becomes dysfunctional. Instead of protecting the brain, it contributes to chronic inflammation and the destruction of neurons. This dysregulation worsens the ...

So, overall, the research suggests that inhaling xenon triggers the active microglia to change from an Alzheimer's disease-type active state to a pre-Alzheimer's state. This pre-Alzheimer's ...
