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

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that specialized immune cells within the glioblastoma tumor metabolize fructose to suppress immune responses and promote tumor growth, reports a study ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Microglial receptor ADGRG1 helps immune cells eat amyloid plaques and may offer new hope for Alzheimer's treatment. (CREDIT: ...

In the central nervous system, microglia have important roles in maintaining tissue homeostasis and responding to infection and injury. Microglia in the brain parenchyma originate from primitive ...

We understand microglia and inflammation but to think they play a critical role in pain is new. When in pain neurons transmit the information, but the purpose of non-neuronal cells in pain is gaining ...

Recent studies have shown variation in the gene-expression profile and phenotype of microglia across brain regions and between different age and disease states. But the molecular mechanisms that ...

The central nervous system (CNS) has its own resident and dedicated battalion of immune cells, called microglial cells. However, they are far more than just immune cells and are critical in the health ...
