Recent research identifies protective brain cells, known as microglia, that can help slow Alzheimer's by reducing ...

In Alzheimer's disease—the leading cause of dementia—microglia, the brain's immune defenders, can act as both protectors and ...

In a study published in Nature, the team found that microglia with lower levels of a transcription factor called PU.1 and ...

Using Alzheimer's mouse models, human cells, and human brain tissue, the researchers demonstrated that lowering PU.1 promotes ...

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 ...

Researchers have uncovered how the brain’s immune cells, called microglia, can act as protectors rather than destroyers in Alzheimer’s disease.

In Alzheimer's disease, the leading cause of dementia, microglia-the brain's immune defenders-can act as both protectors and ...

The data shows that downregulating PU.1 promotes the expression of immunoregulatory proteins on microglia that help protect cognitive function.

CU Anschutz researchers uncovered a link between a type of mucosal immune cell and gut inflammation, finding that the cells ...

Being born with two X chromosomes brings a host of health benefits, and recognising this could lead to personalised medical ...
