The study reveals that an important subtype of glia, known as Schwann cells and located at neuromuscular synapses, are the only cells in muscles expressing two specific molecules.

The study shows how a phospholipid released by glial cells ... The team confirmed that this protein is also expressed in the spinal cord, and when they labeled axons in GPR55 knockout mice, ...

Glia, once thought to be mere glue that fills the space between neurons, were largely ignored in the brain for much of the 20th century. Clearly, neurons were the cells that made things happen ...

But Shane Liddelow, Prakash's supervisor at NYU, says, in fact, neurons make up only about half the cells in a brain. SHANE LIDDELOW: The other half is all of these glial cells and these immune cells.
