Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a highly debilitating neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive loss of memory and decline of mental functions. Earlier research has uncovered some of the ...

Research in neuroinflammation has increasingly highlighted the role of non-neuronal cells, such as microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, endothelial ...

The core facilities of the Cibio Department of the University of Trento have all taken part in a study on amyotrophic lateral ...

The powerful, and often shifty, role that microglia play in Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases is a topic of intense study. However, as demonstrated by presentations at the AD/PD meeting ...

For decades, Alzheimer’s research has centered on neurons, the brain cells that die as the disease progresses, and on the ...

Move over, amyloid, reactive astrocytes and activated microglia may be the main drivers of the Alzheimer’s disease pathological cascade. In the November 6 Nature Neuroscience, scientists led by Pedro ...

The central nervous system (CNS) encompasses the spinal cord and brain, which includes neurons and glia cells. The signaling cells of the CNS, neurons carry electrical imposes to neighboring neurons, ...

How oligodendrocytes use fatty acid metabolism as an energy reserve to maintain axonal function and myelin stability when glucose is scarce, offering insights into neurodegenerative disease mechanisms ...

In a recent study published in the journal PLOS Biology, researchers used mouse models to demonstrate that neurons were not the only source of abnormal amyloid β proteins contributing to the pathology ...

Researchers discovered that suppressing BMP signaling in astrocytes reduces seizures and restores brain balance in Fragile X syndrome models.
