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 ...

The interaction between glial cells and neurons is crucial for maintaining the normal function of the nervous system. For example, glial cells can provide nutritional support, participate in ...

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 ...

Glial cells participate in brain iron metabolism through various mechanisms; meanwhile, iron accumulation exacerbates neuroinflammation by activating inflammatory signaling pathways modulating the ...

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 ...
