Immune cells in the brain called microglia can partially break down large amyloid plaques characteristic of Alzheimer's disease by latching on to them, forming a sort of external stomach and releasing ...
Dark Microglia and Alzheimer's Disease: Using electron microscopy, the researchers identified an accumulation of "dark microglia," a subset of microglia associated with cellular stress and ...
while also inhibiting microglia-mediated brain inflammation in an MS model opens opportunities for potentially reparative treatment of brain damage in other types of neurologic conditions in which ...
examined the consequences of an acute high fat diet (HFD) on microglia in mice. 3-day HFD influenced the regulation of systemic glucose homeostasis in a microglia-dependent and independent manner, as ...
