Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the ...

Glial cells play a crucial role in the development and function of the nervous system, particularly in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly). These support cells are essential for ...

After years of neglect, glial cells are finally registering on drug developers' radar. This reflects increasing knowledge not only about their immunological functions, particularly those related ...

New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy ...

The Deneen Lab seeks to unlock the enigmatic biology surrounding glial cell development and function in the brain. Beginning with developmental gliogenesis, we identified the key transcriptional ...

Glial cells, such as astrocytes and oligodendrocytes ... with evidence of impaired vascular function. Furthermore, the microglial cells in aged brains formed new clusters associated with pro ...

Cecile Richards, a prominent advocate for women's rights and other progressive causes and former President of Planned ...

The increasing implication of glial cells in neurodegenerative diseases makes them an appealing addition to iPSC-based model systems for investigating disease mechanisms. Over the last decade, Dr.

"Changes in these genes point to deteriorated neuronal structure and function in many neuronal and glial cell types, as well as increased immune response and inflammation in the brain’s immune ...

Louis-Jeantet Prizes are awarded to Gilles Laurent, director at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt and ...

The scientists discovered dozens of specific cell types, mostly glial cells, known as brain ... while those related to neuronal structure and function decreased. They also discovered a specific ...
