A study led by Turkish researcher Pinar Ayata unveiled a critical mechanism involving microglia—specialized immune cells in the brain—that could open new avenues for treating Alzheimer's ...

Ncardia’s iPSC-derived microglia may aid ALS research and help to screen new therapies that target inflammation in ALS.

Microglia are a type of small macrophage-like glial cell in the central nervous system. Microglia can engage in phagocytosis, and are involved in immune responses within, as well as the ...

The study's findings are crucial in the rapidly emerging field of developing disease-modifying therapies that target microglia.
