Anxiety disorders are some of the most common mental health conditions in America, affecting about one in five people ...

The authors investigated the epigenetic mechanisms regulating the differentiation of circulating monocytes that infiltrate the CNS and adopt microglia-like characteristics. The work is useful to the ...

Researchers have uncovered surprising evidence that anxiety may be controlled not by neurons but by two dueling groups of ...

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

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 Alzheimer’s disease, microglia act as a double-edged sword. They can either protect the brain or worsen the damage, ...

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 ...

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 ...
