Foamy immune cells packed with fat may drive MS progression, new brain tissue study suggests
Researchers have discovered that immune cells packed with lipid droplets accumulate in the brains of patients with severe multiple sclerosis…
Beyond Neurons: How Brain’s Supporting Cells Drive Inflammation and Cognitive Resilience
The brain's health depends on more than neurons alone. A complex cellular ecosystem—astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocytes—orchestrates neural function through chemical…
Brain’s Support Cells Hold Key to Mental Health: How Astrocytes, Microglia, and Oligodendrocytes Shape Resilience
The human brain is far more than neurons alone. Astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocytes form a cellular network that determines whether…
Scientists Reprogram Brain Immune Cells to Combat Alzheimer’s Disease
Researchers have identified a molecule called OLE that restores protective function in brain immune cells in Alzheimer's disease models. The…
Blood Cancer Gene Mutations Trigger Alzheimer’s Disease Through Brain Inflammation
New research reveals blood cancer-associated genetic mutations in 43% of Alzheimer's patients, creating inflammatory brain cells that accelerate neurodegeneration. The…
Nasal spray reverses brain aging in preclinical trial, researchers report
Texas A&M researchers developed a nasal spray that reverses brain aging markers in preclinical studies. Just two doses improved memory…
USC researchers identify enzyme target for reducing Alzheimer’s brain inflammation
USC researchers have identified a new approach to combat Alzheimer's by targeting the cPLA2 enzyme that drives brain inflammation. The…
Molecular Switch Driving Alzheimer’s Brain Inflammation Identified by Scripps Research
Scripps Research scientists have identified a molecular switch involving STING protein modifications that drives chronic brain inflammation in Alzheimer's disease.…
