Microglial activation is a determining factor that allows amyloid-beta accumulation to drive reactive astrogliosis, amplifying inflammatory responses in the brain. This was the conclusion of a study ...

A study by researchers from Fujita University reveals that hypernatremia enhances NFAT5 and NO production in microglia and minocycline mitigates this response. The image above is a schematic showing ...

New research has identified that neuroinflammation driven by microglia (immune cells in the brain) is a primary underlying ...

Neurodegenerative diseases, traditionally viewed as driven by neuronal decline, are increasingly recognized to involve ...

The idea that infiltrating T cells contribute to a neurodegenerative environment in aging and in Alzheimer’s disease has gotten another boost. In the June 27 Nature Neuroscience, scientists led by ...

Move over, amyloid, reactive astrocytes and activated microglia may be the main drivers of the Alzheimer’s disease pathological cascade. In the November 6 Nature Neuroscience, scientists led by Pedro ...

“These are the first data to link ASC speck assembly, NLRP1 inflammasome activation, and alpha-synuclein aggregation in neurons of Parkinson’s disease patients,” said Stephen C. Glover, ZyVersa’s ...

New research published in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity provides evidence that alcohol use disorder triggers a distinct type of immune response in the brain. The findings suggest that excessive ...

For a long time, neuroscientists treated this forgetting as a cognitive glitch or a simple lack of brainware maturity. But a ...

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 ...
