A new study sheds light on the role oligodendrocytes play in the development and progression of multiple sclerosis.
Researchers report stress during fetal development and early childhood can have lasting implications for brain development, leading to increased risks of brain disorders later in life.
Researchers have discovered how the nature of T cells help protect the brain from viruses. The findings shed light on the role the immune system plays in a number of neurodegenerative disorders.
Researchers report senescent, or Zombie, cells accumulate in certain neurons prior to cognitive loss. By preventing accumulation of these cells, researchers were able to diminish apoptosis, memory loss and tau aggregation.
Researchers have discovered lymphatic vessels carry previously unknown messages from the brain to the immune system that triggers multiple sclerosis. Blocking the messages may provide new treatment options for the disease.
A new study reports some people with schizophrenia have increased numbers of immune cells in their brains. Researchers say the immune cells may be producing inflammatory signals in those with the condition.
Researchers report a high fiber diet can help to reduce both intestinal and brain inflammation during aging.
A new study reports mast cells play a key role in determining sex differences in the developing brain.
Researchers discover numerous differences in microglia between males and females. In males, the study reports, microglia is more abundant and permanently at attention.
A new study sheds light on how immune cells may rush through channels to quickly get to injured brain tissue. Researchers say bone marrow in the skull is more likely to help supply neutrophils to the brain following a stroke.
According to researchers, mast cells play an important role in determining whether an animal's sexual behavior will be more typical of a male or a female as they mature. Chemically stimulating mast cells in newborn female mice resulted in them acting more like males as adults.
A new immunotherapy treatment for ALS patients is not only safe, but can also help slow the progression of the disease, researchers report.
