Calcium In Immune Cells May Trigger Anxiety Behaviours, Study Suggests
A study in mice links calcium signalling in microglia, the brain's immune cells, to anxiety and obsessive compulsive behaviours, offering new treatment insights.

Could Sugar Be Feeding Brain Tumours? New Study Raises Alarm
Immune cells within a brain tumour could be taking control of sugar metabolism, breaking down fructose to suppress immune responses and promote tumour growth, a study has found.

Alzheimer's Immune Response Higher In Females' Brain Than In Males, Finds New Study
In a joint study by researchers at the University of Rochester, US, and Indian researchers found that immune cells in the brain act differently in male and female mice with Alzheimer's disease.

New Study Might Lead to New Therapeutic Approach for Treating Alzheimer’s Disease
Researchers have used a new CRISPR technology that enables them to control these microglia cells. This, according to the team, can lead to a new approach to the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The team geared up to detect the genes that were responsible for specific states of the microglial activity. With this, they could switch the genes on and ...
