Alzheimer's sleep loss stems from overactive microglia, not amyloid plaques, a University of Kentucky study in Alzheimer's & ...

Millions of people living with Alzheimer’s disease lose the ability to sleep through the night long before memory loss ...

Researchers have uncovered a surprising culprit behind sleep loss in Alzheimer’s disease: the brain’s own immune cells. In ...

Immune cells in the brain called microglia can partially break down large amyloid plaques characteristic of Alzheimer's disease by latching on to them, forming a sort of external stomach and releasing ...

Researchers at Trinity College Dublin have discovered that microglia—the main immune cells of the brain—play a critical role ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have identified small nuclear fragments known as micronuclei while studying neurons ...

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 ...

The idea that infiltrating T cells contribute to a neurodegenerative environment in aging and in Alzheimer’s disease has gotten another boost. In the June 27 Nature Neuroscience, scientists led by ...

In the search for answers about Alzheimer's disease, researchers are taking a close look at the immune system of the brain. A new study uncovers how a key immune cell, called a microglia, might be the ...

Good managers set the tone for the whole team, encouraging positive behavior from everyone around them. In the November 5 Nature, scientists introduce a subtype of microglia that appears to do just ...
