The figure illustrates the potential of targeting glial cell functions and their interactions with neurons as a therapeutic strategy for neurodegeneration. The mini review brings together emerging ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Studies in the roundworm model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, headed by scientists at Florida Atlantic University’s Schmidt College of Medicine and FAU Stiles-Nicholson Brain Institute, have ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered that impaired glucose metabolism in glial cells, a type of cell in our nervous system, plays a key role in the degeneration caused by ...
