Researchers have transplanted cells capable of forming specialized brain support cells into mice brains and found that they not only competed with and replaced unhealthy cells but aged ones, too. The ...

Parvalbumin cells play a central role in keeping brain activity in equilibrium. They control nervcell signaling, reduce ...

Case Western Reserve University has established an institute devoted to a research subject that university experts see as the next crucial area of medical research. The Institute for Glial Sciences ...

In Tesar’s own lab, he and his team have already made discoveries about glial cells leading to groundbreaking advancements in treatments for neurologic diseases. For example, their research has ...

There are two fundamentally different cell types in the brain, neurons and glial cells. The latter, for example, insulate the 'wiring' of nerve cells or guarantee optimal working conditions for them.

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 ...

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 nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...
