Researchers discover how microglia engulf and break down amyloid beta, a protein that builds up in Alzheimer's
In Alzheimer's disease, proteins like amyloid beta form clumps, known as plaques, that damage the brain. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. But in some people, immune ...
In neurodegenerative diseases, microglia can help or harm the brain. In the October 3 Journal of Clinical Investigation, scientists led by Ilia Baskakov at the University of Maryland School of ...
In diseases driven by dysfunctional microglia, could replacing them with healthy versions prevent, or even reverse, pathology? Yes, suggest two papers in the June 18 Neuron. Both describe how mice ...
A clearance mechanism involving microglia has been known to relieve neurons of toxic protein aggregates such as those associated with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Unfortunately, this ...
In Alzheimer's disease, proteins like amyloid beta form clumps, known as plaques, that damage the brain. But in some people, immune cells called microglia break down these proteins before they can ...
