Depression Brain Cells Identified: Key Neurons and Microglia
Groundbreaking study pinpoints brain-cell targets in depression In a landmark effort to understand the biology of depression, researchers have for the first time pinpointed the exact brain cell types where gene activity and DNA regulation are disrupted. The team combined advanced genomic techniques with post-mortem brain tissue to identify the cells most affected by depression,…

For the first time, scientists pinpoint brain cells linked to depression
Groundbreaking discovery maps which brain cells are affected in depression In a landmark study, researchers have for the first time pinpointed the specific brain cell types that show altered activity in depression. By combining gene activity data with mechanisms that regulate the DNA code, the team has created a clearer map of where disruptions occur…
