Microglia protect the central nervous system from inflammation and could hold the key to treating retina disease
Microglia help protect the central nervous system from disease-causing pathogens and issues. Recent research has revealed that these cells determine whether or not other immune cells might enter the brain. Managing these gatekeeper cells might offer a way to control the risk of inflammation that damage the retina. Researchers at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear (MEE) hospital discovered […]

Flashing lights and pink noise could be the key to preventing Alzheimer’s
Researchers believe they have found a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. Animal tests show that exposing mice to light flashes and sound pulses at the frequency of 40 hertz can reverse some of the symptoms of the neurodegenerative disease. Alzheimer’s disease continues to defy any attempt at treating it. Several pharmaceutical drugs help regulate a few […]

What’s salidroside, and how can it protect the brain from neurogenerative diseases?
The Arctic root is a plant in the Crassulaceae family that thrives in cold regions. In traditional medicine, it is known as Rhodiola rosea. Rhodiola is used in many natural treatments thanks to its abundance in natural compounds that exhibit medicinal properties. Researchers from China reported that rhodiola has neuroprotective activity after investigating one its most active ingredients, salidroside. […]

The potential neuroprotective properties of salidroside from Rhodiola rosea
Researchers from China investigated the potential neuroprotective properties of salidroside, a chemical compound found in the plant Rhodiola rosea. Their findings were published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine. Microglial activation leads to increased production of pro-inflammatory enzymes and cytokines, which is considered to be a key factor in neurodegenerative diseases. Only a few drugs […]

Dietary fiber is important for brain health, especially for seniors
As a part of the aging process, microglia or the brain immune cells of humans and mammals alike become chronically inflamed. In turn, they produce chemicals that impair cognitive and motor function. Fortunately, researchers from the University of Illinois (U of I) found that this process may be slowed down with dietary fiber. The study, which was […]

Your brain may be older than your body, new study finds
A new animal study suggests that aging affects the brain earlier than the rest of the body. During the experiment, the immune cells of the brains of middle-aged mice showed similar activity to the ones in older mice, an article in American Physiological Society states. These cells are called microglia cells, which control potentially harmful […]
