An international team of researchers has developed a way to replace almost all of the microglia cells in a mouse brain using circulation-derived myeloid cells as a way to treat neurodegenerative disease using a technique ...
Astrocytes form large networks of interconnected cells in the central nervous system. When these cell-to-cell couplings are disrupted in the brain of adult mice, the animals are no longer able to store spatial information. ...
