During pregnancy, maternal and fetal cells migrate back and forth across the placenta, with fetal cells entering the mother's ...

A recent study has reported that microglia, the brain’s resident immune cells, play a central role in infantile amnesia in mice, with implications for how memories are stored, suppressed and ...

Blocking microglia prevents infant forgetting and improves memory in mice, suggesting they play a key role in memory ...

A new study reveals that age-related changes in the gut microbiota directly impair intestinal stem cell (ISC) function and that restoring a youthful microbial environment can reverse this decline.

Explore the connection between neurodegeneration and cellular senescence in understanding brain structure and ageing.

Scientists have found that blocking microglia (specialist immune cells in the brain) prevents infant forgetting ("infantile amnesia") and improves memory in mice, suggesting that microglia may ...

Babies of every species from mouse to human rapidly forget things that happen to them—an effect called infantile amnesia. A type of brain immune cell ...
