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 ...

The study, published in the journal Neuron, highlights microglia, the brain's primary immune cells, as central players in both the protective and harmful responses associated with the disease.

Caption Using live cell imaging microscopy, the scientists observed the formation of connections between neurons and microglia. The video above shows the formation of TNTs between a neuron and ...

the researchers went on to show how the ISR pathway was causing dark microglia to release harmful lipids into the brain's tissues. It was these damaging fats that caused the damage to synapses and ...

In a recent study published in the journal Neuron, researchers at the University ... particularly in microglia, showing how its impairment amplifies neuroinflammation and neuronal stress.
