The study's findings are crucial in the rapidly emerging field of developing disease-modifying therapies that target microglia.

A fundamental feature of the developing vertebrate central nervous system is that common progenitors produce neurons and glia sequentially. Furthermore, two broad categories of glia, astrocytes, and ...

Researchers find that microglia function differently in males versus females, potentially having broad implications for how neurological diseases are studied.

Neurons are made of three parts Neurons ... The human nervous system is defined as two parts. They are the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).

Parasitic infections can invade practically any part of the body. Brain parasites, those that infect the central nervous system which includes the brain, are potentially the most damaging and the most ...

Neuronal pathway finding is crucial for structured cellular organization and development of neural circuits within the nervous system ... including neurons, in the ventricular and subventricular ...

China’s central bank injected a near record-high amount of liquidity into the banking system to help meet demand for cash even as it looks to support the yuan. The People’s Bank of China on ...
