The protective cells accumulated microplastics, instead of digesting them, and then the damaged cells clumped up in the brain ...

A breakthrough study published today in the Journal of Neuroscience sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their extremities to their nucleus, leading to the activation of ...

Immune cells called regulatory T cells have long been known for their role in countering inflammation. In the setting of ...

This microscope photo provided by the McLean Hospital's Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center in January 2024 shows cells in the caudate nucleus structure of the brain in a person with Huntington's ...

In brain cells, a single cilium, only tens of microns long, extends from a cell's surface into a jumble of other cells. Using traditional microscopy methods to find and image cilia is like looking ...

Studies in mice show that microplastics entering the bloodstream are engulfed by immune cells, forming clusters that can ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...

The brain cell death eventually leads to problems with movement, thinking and behavior. Huntington’s symptoms – which include involuntary movement, unsteady gait, personality changes and ...
