A new study reveals neutrophils can help the nervous system clear nerve debris and assist with neuroregeneration.
Immune cells appear to play a direct role in the development of ALS, a new study reports.
Studying axolotl, the Mexican Salamander, researchers discover the key to regeneration lies within the immune system.
Researchers report inflammation reactions can cause long term alterations to immune cells in the brain which can influence the progression of neurodegenerative disorders later in life.
A new study reports the loss of the Bim protein in macrophages leads to lupus-like symptoms in mice. The findings may help in the development of new treatments for the autoimmune disease in humans.
Researchers discover increased expression of the Scara1 protein could impede the progression of Alzheimer's disease as it plays an important role in the removal of amyloid beta from the brain.
Researchers reveal the mechanism behind leprosy's destructive effect on the body and note the disease may share common characteristics with multiple sclerosis.
Studying what the LRRK2 gene does in macrophages infected with the bacterium that causes tuberculosis, researchers believe they may have identified a cause of Parkinson's disease.
Researchers have identified a population of immune cells that appear to be associated with neurons which play a role in fat storage and obesity.
A new study tracks, in real time, how Cryptococcal meningitis invades the brain.
Researchers at Cornell University have discovered a new pathway that involves immune cells which may contribute to the development of Alzheimer's 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.
