A research team, affiliated with UNIST has identified a new type of microglia associated with stroke in the ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injured brain. This breakthrough has been led by Professor Sung Ho Park and his research team in the…

Microglia acts as the first line of defense in the central nervous system, constantly scanning for pathogens and abnormalities and releasing small proteins called cytokines to help wade off infections. Previous research has shown that, in…

New research published today by the University of Southampton shows new insight in how our brain develops, that can pave the way for treating neurological disorders. For the first time, a team of international scientists led by the…

From everyday actions like walking and talking to feats of athletic or academic excellence, the brain is constantly acquiring and seamlessly processing information to produce these incredible behaviors. The process requires a whole…

One of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease is a reduction in the firing of some neurons in the brain, which contributes to the cognitive decline that patients experience. A new study from MIT shows how a type of cells called microglia…

The poor function of microglia, the brain's immune cells in individuals exposed to early life adversity (ELA) promotes aberrant responses to stress in adulthood that may be linked to mental illness, according to a new study led by…

says Dr. Ryan Logan, Ph.D., an Associate Professor at Boston University's School of Medicine, Boston, MA, USA and senior author of the study. ‘Genes in the brains of people with opioid use disorder (OUD) are expressed differently and are…

Many anti-seizure drugs do not render treatment efficacy in approximately one-third of epilepsy patients. This requires the need for proper treatment to treat epilepsy. ‘Seizure-related brain injuries that may be treated by a repair…

Alzheimer's Disease is the most common form of dementia and is characterised by the build-up of amyloid plaques in the brain. Microglia, the immune sentinels of the brain, are not only responsible for eliminating foreign invaders, but also…
