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 figure illustrates the potential of targeting glial cell functions and their interactions with neurons as a therapeutic strategy for neurodegeneration. The mini review brings together emerging ...

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 ...

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 like it tidy. Brain cells called glia help neurons perform at their best by cleaning up toxic cellular debris. But a diet high in sugar makes glia insulin resistant — which turns them into ...

Focusing back on the AMsh-AFD interaction, the team asked a follow-up question: KCC-3 appeared to mediate this glia-neuron interaction by localizing specifically to their interface, but how was this ...

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 ...

Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...
