Glial cells support neurological structures, function, cognition, behaviours, physical skills, and motor coordination.

Alzheimer's disease progression linked to microglia fat metabolism, potential new treatment target identified in recent study ...

Adult-onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia (ALSP) is a progressive neurological disease with an ...

Replacing defective microglia can halt ALSP—a fatal neurodegenerative disease—in mice and humans, offering hope for broader brain therapies.

Infections in the brain can have serious consequences and are often fatal. The immune defense system works differently here ...

Numerous studies indicate that dysfunctional microglia – specialised immune cells in the brain – contribute to a range of neurological conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia.

Replacing mutated microglia with healthy microglia halts the progression of the genetic neurological disease adult-onset ...

How immune cells in the brain coordinate their work Infections in the brain can have serious consequences and are often fatal. The immune defence system works differently here than in the rest of the ...
