The human brain consists of about 85 to 100 billion neurons. It also has roughly the same amount of brain cells that support neuron function with, for example, nutrition, oxygen and healing. These ...

New research published in the journal Disease Models & Mechanisms offers insights into how glial cells — the supportive cells of the nervous system — may influence the progression of Alzheimer’s ...

Homeostasis is the ability of living organisms to maintain stable internal conditions, such as temperature, hydration and ...

Researchers have uncovered how non-neuronal cells in the brain – glial cells – play an active role in regulating sleep and ...

Satellite glial cells (SGCs) are specialized glial cells that encapsulate neurons in peripheral ganglia, providing structural and functional support. Recent ...

Nageotte nodules, once overlooked, may hold the key to understanding and treating diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

A new study reveals how Alzheimer’s disease affects different tissues across the entire body — including biological aging, ...

non-neuronal cells in our central nervous system that help support, feed, and protect neurons. Importantly, the ways in which glial cells work have a lot to do with what happens in AD patients.

However, it has so far not been known how local changes in ion concentration affect individual neurons and glial cells. Previous attempts to change the extracellular milieu have primarily involved ...
