The brain's big-eating immune cells can slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease. This is shown by a study that is now published in Nature Aging. The brain's own immune cells are called microglia and are found in the central nervous system. They are big eaters that kill viruses, damaged cells and infectious agents they come across. It has long been known that microglial cells can be activa

I den mångtusenåriga isen från Grönland finns spår efter gigantiska solstormar. Geologiprofessor Raimund Muscheler gör nu en stor satsning på att kartlägga stormarna bakåt i tiden för att öka kunskapen om solens potentiellt farliga utbrott. Vår sol befinner sig just nu i en aktiv fas med ökat antal solstormar. Vid ett kraftigt sådant utbrott kan partiklarna från solen i värsta fall orsaka allvarl
