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 ...
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 ...
Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the ...
The amyloid cascade—plaques to tangles to cognitive decline—has become well established. Less well understood is what role inflammation and glial changes play. Now, by analyzing single-nuclei RNA-Seq ...
To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate ...
Huntington's disease has long defied attempts to rescue suffering neurons. A new study in Cell Reports shows that transplanting healthy human glial progenitor cells into the brains of adult animal ...
Research on fragile X syndrome, the most common inherited cause of mental retardation, has focused mostly on how the genetic defect alters the functioning of neurons in the brain. A new study focusing ...
A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...
