Pain processing involves neurons, microglia and astrocytes. The functions of glia extend beyond basic support for neurons. Once activated, they release various classic immune factors that are also ...

We use induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) representing neurological and psychiatric diseases. Differentiation of iPSCs into neurons, astrocytes, microglia allow us to analyze aberrant gene and ...

Synapses are the places where motor neurons communicate, thus connecting the brain and spinal cord to the muscles. Our study also found that astrocytes and microglia, the immune cells of the brain and ...

Microglia phagocytose astrocyte end feet which is one of the components of BBB. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to EurekAlert!

They spotted many of the genes they suspected of responding to lecanemab expressed in microglia huddled around plaques. There were far more abundant in the lecanemab-treated case than in controls.

Differentiation of iPSCs into neurons, astrocytes and microglia allow us to analyze aberrant gene and protein expression, function and metabolism in developing and maturing human brain well before the ...
