Researchers have identified a key role microglia play in melanoma brain metastases progression and mechanisms to target them.

The study, published in Cancer Cell, demonstrates that microglia, a type of resident immune cell in the brain, can be manipulated to reduce brain metastases growth and enhance immunotherapy responses ...

Iron is a trace element present in neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia. Iron is also an essential component for both the synthesis of neurotransmitters that regulate the sleep ...

Microglia, the brain's immune cells, exhibit altered gene expression and a weakened immune response as they age, potentially contributing to neurological disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
