Enteric glial cells (EGCs) are now recognised as pivotal players in maintaining gastrointestinal homeostasis. Once regarded merely as supportive neural elements, emerging evidence reveals that these ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Diminishing energy production in aging neurons triggers senescence in nearby glial cells, which ordinarily support and protect neurons. With age, some cells in the brain enter a state of senescence: ...

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 ...

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate communication network is built of billions of neurons connected by synapses ...
