Researchers investigate whether they can mobilize the immune system to help in the fight against Alzheimer's disease. Read More
Researchers have identified a population of immune cells that appear to be associated with neurons which play a role in fat storage and obesity. Read More
A new study investigates how genetics risk factors for Alzheimer's could influence a key immune cell. Read More
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. Read More
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. Read More
Researchers demonstrate the regenerative dynamics of CCL2. Read More
M2 macrophages can produce various endogenous opioids, such as endorphins, enkephalin, and dynorphin, which activate opioid receptors at the site of inflammation. Read More
Researchers reveal the mechanism behind leprosy's destructive effect on the body and note the disease may share common characteristics with multiple sclerosis. Read More
New research suggests macrophages can help trigger myelin regeneration. The finding could lead to a potential new treatment for multiple sclerosis. Read More
Using nanoparticles, researchers have discovered a way to target difficult to reach cancers. Read More
A new study reports on how immune receptors clear dying and dysfunctional brain cells. Read More
MRC1+ macrophages are dysfunctional in animal models of neuropathic pain. Stimulating the expression of the anti-inflammatory protein CD163 reduced signs of neuroinflammation in the spinal cords of mice with neuropathic pain. Read More
