Immune response in the human brain accurately measured for the first time ever.

Scientists have long suspected that neuroinflammation caused by a reactive immune system could be tripping off the neurodegeneration seen in certain dementias, multiple sclerosis, and other deadly diseases of the nervous system. Now, a novel molecular imaging technique could be the key to understanding how best to treat these and other devastating diseases, according to a new study from Yale University. The researchers state at the … Continue reading Immune response in the human brain accurately measured for the first time ever.
