A single treatment of viral vector-delivered CAR-A construct in mice with existing plaque saturation cut the amount of amyloid plaques in half.

A new study led by researchers from VIB and KU Leuven shows that immune cells called microglia can actively promote the formation of plaques in Alzheimer's disease, challenging the long-standing view ...

Researchers have identified that microglia first help spread Alzheimer’s disease pathology across the brain and then activate to limit its neurodegenerative effects. Researchers from the VIB-KU Leuven ...

University of Virginia (UVA) School of Medicine researchers have created an atlas of atherosclerosis that reveals, at the level of individual cells, critical processes responsible for forming the ...

Researchers engineer CAR-astrocytes to target and remove amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s, showing a 50% reduction in brain ...

Glial cells in the brain also produce amyloid beta. Not only neurons build the protein amyloid beta (blue), which clumps together and forms harmful plaques in Alzheimer’s disease: Special glial cells ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, researchers investigated the contributions of oligodendrocytes (OLs) and neurons to amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque burden in Alzheimer's disease ...
