Discovery that microglia can be effectively replaced could transform cell therapy for brain diseases
An international research team led by Professor Kiavash Movahedi from the Brussels Center for Immunology at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel has published unexpected results in the journal Immunity.
Immune cells in the brain called microglia can partially break down large amyloid plaques characteristic of Alzheimer's disease by latching on to them, forming a sort of external stomach and releasing ...

Stem cell platform aims to recreate brain's immune system using lab-grown human microglia 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 ...
Microglia (immune cells) and the RANK protein are essential for triggering puberty and maintaining fertility in the brain.
