Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial ... to neuron damage. Published in Nature Communications, the study describes how two key proteins allow glial cells to ...

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 ...

Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and ... category of cells that do not transmit electrical signals but still form an important part of the nervous system. Glial cells provide structural ...

Neurons in this system were more active than those in 2D cell culture. As reported January 14 in Neuron, scientists led by first author Emmy Li, now at Stanford University, California, and Martin ...

The nervous system is comprised of two primary cell types: neurons and glial cells ... leaving axons and even the entire neuron vulnerable to degeneration. Thus, patients with demyelinating ...

Here, we highlight the complex molecular signaling that takes place in neurons, glial cells and the blood-brain barrier following ischemic insult. We also describe the evidence of TRPM2 ...

These three genes encode membrane proteins that transport different metabolites between brain cells, providing them with energy. In the brain, one way that neurons communicate with one another is ...
