In a recent review published in the European Journal of Endocrinology, researchers discussed current research on the relationship between human obesity and inflammation of the hypothalamus.

Immune cells that keep the brain free of debris but also contribute to inflammation are the likely culprits behind the concentration and memory problems that sometimes follow one type of chemotherapy, a new study in mice suggests. Researchers previously showed…
A change in the DNA code (mutation) of a gene that plays a key role in the brain’s immune defenses may prevent related cells from clearing away protein-filled clumps, a new study in mice shows. The buildup of such clumps,…
A new study links a gene concentrated in the brain’s cleanup cells, known as microglia, to the inflammation that has increasingly emerged as a key mechanism contributing to Alzheimer’s disease. The findings may offer a new potential target for therapies…
In a recent study published in the journal Annals of Diagnostic Pathology, researchers in the United States evaluated the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on central nervous system (CNS) damage in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Studies have reported that the…
A Ludwig Cancer Research study has developed a strategy to noninvasively track immune cells known as macrophages within brain and breast tumors in living mice. Cancers often recruit and reprogram these tumor-associated macrophages, or TAMs, to support their own growth…
In a recent review published in the Journal of Ginseng Research, researchers discussed the therapeutic potential of Panax ginseng for COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019)-induced neurological diseases. Study: Panax ginseng as a potential therapeutic for neurological disorders associated with COVID-19; Toward…
Scientists have identified a handful of gene mutations that cause or contribute to the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. But many scientists suspect that other DNA changes may help drive Alzheimer’s-related damage to brain cells and lead to symptoms of confusion…
Age-related diseases, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease (AD), are affected by changes in the gut microbiome. In addition, several factors, such as aging, impact the composition of the gut microbiome. In a recent Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience study, scientists reviewed the impact…
