Many sensory nerve endings in the skin associate with glial cells that form the innermost part of larger structures, for example, the Pacinian corpuscle. Lastly, the complex ganglia of the enteric ...

Glial cells, which can be divided into several types ... or sensory organs (Figure 1A). For example, some motor neurons in the spinal cord have axons that exceed 1 m in length, connecting the ...

This explainer outlines how neurons and glial cells coordinate electrical and chemical signals to form complex brain networks that govern thought, behavior, and consciousness. It also explores how ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered that impaired glucose metabolism in glial cells, a type of ...

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.

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 ...

Human glial progenitors are a type of stem or progenitor cell that can give rise to astrocytes and oligodendrocytes ... transduction and regulate many physiological processes, for example ...

Importantly, the ways in which glial cells work have a lot do with what happens in AD patients. For example, glial cells are known to clear away abnormal build-up of protein, accompanied by an ...
