Huddersfield researchers demonstrate how coronavirus activates the brain's immune response

Huddersfield researchers were among the first to demonstrate how the induction of brain inflammation accounts for neurological damage in COVID19 patients and now, their findings have been published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.

Alzheimer’s disease protein helps skin cancer cells thrive when they metastasize to the brain

Amyloid beta, a protein known to build up in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease, also helps skin cancer cells thrive when they spread to the brain, a new study finds.

Pain neuron-derived peptide protects mice from endotoxic death by enhancing brain ATP production

Sepsis is a high-mortality disease that arises when the body's immune reaction to pathogens causes multi-organ defects.

Stress appears to have a negative effect on the learning of movements in mice

Stress seems to have a negative effect on the learning of movements - at least in mice. This is the conclusion of a recent study at the University of Bonn.

Severity-dependent immune mechanisms in the cerebrospinal fluid and plasma of COVID-19 patients

Researchers determined the immune mechanisms associated with severe neurological manifestations of COVID-19.

Study offers a new, effective therapeutic option against glioblastoma

A study recently accepted for publication in The Journal of Clinical Investigation describes a new and effective therapy to treat glioblastoma: the concomitant use of ADI-PEG20 together with focal brain radiotherapy.

Regulating inflammation in Alzheimer's disease using a nanocleaner

In this new article publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, authors Ting Lei, Zhihang Yang, Xue Xia, Yuxiu Chen, Xiaotong Yang, Rou Xie, Fan Tong, Xiaolin Wang, Huile Gao from Sichuan University, Chengdu, China and Macau University of Science and Technology, Macau, China discuss how nanocleaners can specifically penetrate the blood‒brain barrier at lesions to clean toxic proteins and regulate inflammation in Alzheimer's disease.

UCI biologists discover how a protective mutation may reduce Alzheimer's risk

While the word "mutation" may conjure up alarming notions, a mutation in brain immune cells serves a positive role in protecting people against Alzheimer's disease.

Hyperactive microglia can have a protective effect in the course of neurodegenerative diseases

Findings by researchers from Germany support the view that hyperactive immune cells in the brain can have a protective effect in the course of neurodegenerative diseases.

Pharmacological manipulation could restore microglia function after exposure to industrial toxin in utero

New research shows that exposure to the industrial byproduct TCDD in utero could cause the brain's immune system to go array later in life, damaging important brain circuits, and potentially giving rise to neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism and ADHD.
