Glial cells have emerged as central regulators of neural homeostasis, immune surveillance, and disease propagation throughout ...

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 ...

Glial cells in the Drosophila nervous system play indispensable roles in neural development, function, and homeostasis. These non-neuronal cells facilitate a range of processes, including the ...

Damaged brain tissue can be re-grown using a new method that lets researchers guide stem cells into exactly the type of brain cells they need for a particular spot. They're targeting new treatments ...

Enhanced glucose uptake in glial cells might help fight AD. In Alzheimer’s disease and related neurodegenerative diseases, excess activation of glial cells causes neuroinflammation and damage to ...

Researchers at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ont. have built a helmet that measures light emissions from cancerous ...

Memory loss, confusion, speech problems – Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, affecting about 35 million people worldwide, and the number is growing. The protein amyloid beta, ...

In a groundbreaking study [1] published in Science, researchers from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and collaborators unveiled the first high-resolution atlas of how enteric neurons adapt to ...

The human brain is a three-pound wonder, capable of amazing things right alongside everyday behaviors so automatic we don’t even notice they’re there. The brain is made up of two kinds of cells.

Resonant, a Renew Biotechnologies subsidiary developing novel diagnostic tools for neurodegenerative diseases, announces the ...

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 ...
