Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how calcium signaling channels in microglia—the primary immune cells of the brain—regulate neuroinflammation and promote the development of behaviors ...
A growing body of research points to chronic, low-grade inflammation inside the brain as a possible accelerant of Alzheimer’s disease, not just a bystander response to damage already done. The 2024 ...
Study results corroborate our recently published data demonstrating the critical role of microglial-driven inflammation in promoting accumulation and spread of toxic phosphorylated alpha-synuclein ...
A research group has uncovered a potential mechanism linking maternal inflammation to delayed neurodevelopment in infants. The research suggests the role of CD11c-positive microglia -- immune cells in ...
In recent years, there's been a growing awareness of neuroinflammation, an immune response in the brain. Research suggests that chronic inflammatory activation could be a central driver behind many ...
Fetal brain development can be negatively impacted by an infection that occurs in utero, and the resulting maternal inflammation. Indeed, an illness in a mother is associated with an increased risk of ...
During a session at 38, the Congress of the French Society of Rheumatology (SFR 2025) in Paris, France, Nicolas Villain, MD, neurologist at Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris, France, reviewed ...
The drug minocycline, an antibiotic that also decreases inflammation, failed to slow vision loss or expansion of geographic atrophy in people with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), according ...
A joint study conducted by the University of Bonn and the DZNE has confirmed early-stage brain inflammation in mice. Patients with spastic paraplegia type 15 develop movement disorders during ...
