Complement C1q initiates the classical complement pathway and becomes activated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), contributing to the association between amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau pathologies. However, ...
Although systemic inflammation has been implicated in PD pathogenesis, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigate the pathological events in a systemic ...
Scientists have long known that the complement cascade, a set of immune system proteins, protects against infection in the body. But in recent years, researchers have uncovered new roles for the ...
The MarketWatch News Department was not involved in the creation of this content. -- Lead antibody MB0109 targets C1q and uniquely inhibits both classical complement cascade and C1q-mediated ...
A new study led by University of Cincinnati researchers sheds new light on the role of a signaling pathway in the brain to maintain health and prevent inflammation and cognitive deficits. Luo ...
Scientists have spotted a new variety of riled-up microglia that drives swelling in the human brain. In the November 18 Neuron, researchers from China led by Haixiao Liu, Shunnan Ge, and Yan Qu at ...
A 3-D rendered confocal image shows a single TGF- β1 knockout microglia being activated while it is surrounded by normal microglia that do not have the gene deletion. A new study led by University of ...
