Now, two independent studies have honed in on inflammatory microglia as a potential therapeutic strategy. In mice, induction of T regulatory (T reg) cells or supplementation with a metabolic ...

Tim-3 is an immune checkpoint molecule involved in immunity and inflammation recently linked to late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD), but its role in the brain was unknown until now. In a paper ...

"An additional hurdle, even if you can get through the BBB to the hypothalamus, is hitting the bullseye within the hypothalamus – the activated microglia cells that act as key mediators of ...

The immune cells of the brain (microglia) showed increased inflammatory activity, and this inflammatory response was directly correlated with the metabolic stress in the medium spiny neurons.

Red cone photoreceptor cell arrangement: (Left) In wild-type retinas, red cones extend multiple filopodia toward neighboring cells, but these filopodia stop growing when they encounter other red ...

Previous studies have identified potential targets, but they were mainly found in non-nerve cells, such as microglia. Our discovery, however, focuses on a membrane protein located on the surface of ...
