A new study tracks, in real time, how Cryptococcal meningitis invades the brain. Read More
Advanced imaging techniques visualize macrophages in brain tumors in mouse models of glioblastoma. 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
Researchers investigate whether they can mobilize the immune system to help in the fight against Alzheimer's disease. 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
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
A new study reports on how immune receptors clear dying and dysfunctional brain cells. Read More
According to new research, the spleen could be a target for treating stroke induced chronic inflammation which leads to further brain cell death. Read More
Researchers attempt to identify which macrophage receptors promote neural repair and which are directed to the destructive process following spinal cord injury. 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
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
Dopamine may play a role in activating immune cells to migrate in the early stages of infection. Read More
