The brain is shielded from many substances by the blood-brain barrier, but this shield is not impenetrable. There are immune cells in the brain called microglia that can respond to potential invaders ...

Detailed mapping of 1.2 million brain cells has revealed that not all cell types age in the same way and that some – found in a specific ‘hot spot’ – are more sensitive to the aging process. It opens ...
