In humans, microglia develop in different ways, undergoing growth patterns that go up and down, creating waves throughout our brain development.
Sustained microglia activation leads to the cells becoming senescent. This leads to an accelerated accumulation of amyloid in the brain, influencing the early stages of Alzheimer's development.
People who suffer from dry eye disease symptoms report visual problems, increased depression and anxiety, and mobility issues. Dry eye disease, researchers say, can have a negative impact on the overall quality of life for sufferers.
Exposing retinal pigment epithelium cells in mouse models to amyloid-beta resulted in retinal pathologies similar to those seen in human age-related macular degeneration.
Severe adversity experienced in childhood increases the risk of being diagnosed with ADHD later in life.
Researchers provide advice about the best foods and supplements to help boost the immune system to stave off COVID-19 infection.
Researchers have created a hybrid neural network where biological and artificial neurons in different parts of the world were able to communicate via the internet through a hub of memristive synapses.
A new study reveals maternal diet during pregnancy can have dramatic implications for fetal brain development and can impact short term memory in adults.
The turn over of microglia cells is at least ten times faster than previously predicted, allowing for entire renewal of microglia a number of times during ones lifetime, a new study reports.
A new study reports amyloid beta proteins are able to accumulate in the retina and damage it, which may result in age related macular degeneration in older people.
