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

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 ...

Neurons have dominated neuroscience research for decades, but a growing body of evidence suggests that a group of non-neuronal brain cells called glia may play an equal or greater role in shaping ...

Researchers report that a single glial cell uses different molecules to communicate with different neurons. Careful clustering of these molecules ensures that the glial cell can conduct a distinct ...

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

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

While the role of barrier function in establishing a protective, nutrient-rich, and ionically balanced environment for neurons has been appreciated for some time, little is known about how signaling ...

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 ...

Neuroscientists at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center have found that an often-overlooked type of brain cell called glia has more of a role in brain function than previously thought. In the journal Cell ...
