Examining post-mortem tissue from the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease, Stanford University School of Medicine investigators identified what appear to be iron-containing microglia -- ...

Microglia respond to proteinopathies by changing their shapes and expression profiles in different ways. Here’s one that has been somewhat overlooked: rod-shaped microglia. These long, straight cells ...

In this interview, Dr. Tilman explains the functions of iPSC-derived microglia and their relevance to conditions like Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. Microglia are the primary immune ...

Researchers have unraveled how immune cells called microglia can transform and drive harmful processes like neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease. The study also integrates drug databases with real ...

For years, researchers considered Alzheimer’s disease (AD) an amyloid beta and neuron-related condition. But having trained as a pathologist, Thomas Montine, who is now a neuropathology researcher at ...

Microglia are known to play an important role in Alzheimer's disease, but exactly what they do has remained a mystery. Scientists in the Bart De Strooper Lab at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & ...
