The kick-off signal for puberty begins in the brain. Specifically, in the hypothalamus, where specific neurons release a ...

Immune cells in glioblastoma use fructose to evade immune response, pointing to a new treatment target. Northwestern Medicine ...

A new study reveals that immune cells within brain tumours may be manipulating sugar metabolism, specifically breaking down ...

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 ...

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.

A key Alzheimer’s drug has finally revealed its secret. Researchers discovered that lecanemab works by activating the brain’s immune cells—but only through a specific part of the antibody called the ...

Microglia (immune cells) and the RANK protein are essential for triggering puberty and maintaining fertility in the brain.

Study reveals glioblastoma tumors exploit sugar metabolism to suppress immune responses, suggesting new immunotherapy targets ...

Researchers found microglia influence reproductive hormone signaling through the RANK protein. The discovery links immune cells to puberty control and infertility, and may improve diagnosis and ...

Published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study is the first to identify a sugar ...
