The mini review brings together emerging evidence showing that glial cells actively influence disease progression and ...

Neurons are the most well-known cells in the brain but they are not the only type of cell in this organ. The other main type is the glial cells, also known as neuroglia. Glia comes from the Greek word ...

Husniye Kantarci was part of a team that discovered the role of glial cells in controlling neural development, learning and numerous diseases. Husniye Kantarci and Brad Zuchero (left to right) and ...

Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells that play a crucial role in various neurophysiological processes. They not only support nervous system structures but also contribute to ...

The involvement of glial cells in Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been mostly viewed as a secondary adaptive response to ...

Higher levels of the GFAP protein in the cerebrospinal fluid are associated with better clinical response to Spinraza in SMA, ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...

The glial-specific role of betaPix during cerebral blood vessel development has been revealed by establishing a new betaPix conditional trap allele in zebrafish.

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered that impaired glucose metabolism in glial cells, a type of cell in our nervous system, plays a key role in the degeneration caused by ...
