A new study suggests fat deposits in the brain may play a larger role in Alzheimer's disease than previously thought. This ...

A new method of taking microscopic images of a live mouse's retina through the eye allows researchers to record the reaction ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a powerful new imaging method that reveals how immune cells in the eye behave long before visible damage occurs in diabetic retinopathy.

By mapping molecules in cells and tissues, scientists can gain novel insights into various biological processes, such as ...

Replacing immune cells called microglia holds promise for addressing brain conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease.

New research shows fat buildup disables brain’s immune defenses in Alzheimer’s. A mouse treatment cleared plaques in just one ...

A new study reveals that Alzheimer’s disease involves more than just plaques and tangles; it also stems from disrupted communication between brain cells.

Microglia are a specialized type of immune cell that accounts for about 10% of all cells within the brain and spinal cord. They function by eliminating infectious microbes, dead cells, and aggregated ...

For decades, scientists believed Alzheimer’s was driven mainly by sticky protein plaques and tangles in the brain. Now Purdue ...

During most eye infections or injuries, neutrophils, immune cells found in the blood, are usually the first line of defense. However, researchers at the Flaum Eye Institute and Del Monte Institute for ...
