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 reveals neutrophils can help the nervous system clear nerve debris and assist with neuroregeneration. 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 new findings about the immune system could help treat inflammation in Alzheimer's disease and could save people from deadly inflammation associated with sepsis. Read More
Researchers have discovered a method to engraft immune cells in the brains of lab mice without the use of radiation. 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
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. Read More
A new study sheds light on how the circadian clock controls inflammatory response. By understanding the link between inflammation and circadian rhythm, researchers believe it may be most effective to target specific conditions at certain times of the day. The findings may also explain why those who experience body clock disruptions are more susceptible to inflammatory conditions. Read More
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. Read More
Using mouse models, researchers have developed a comprehensive map of the brain's immune cells. The study found microglia in the choroid plexus showed a similar activation state as microglia that come into contact with Amyloid deposits. Read More
PTEN deficiency drives an increased expression of LOX. LOX attracts macrophages which protect gliobastoma brain cancer cells and provide growth factor support for the tumor, a new mouse study reveals. Read More
Advanced imaging techniques visualize macrophages in brain tumors in mouse models of glioblastoma. Read More
