This explainer outlines how neurons and glial cells coordinate electrical and chemical signals to form complex brain networks ...

Changes in structure and function take ... an important part of the nervous system. Glial cells provide structural and other kinds of support to neurons and help to ensure that neurons can ...

The glial cells support neurons structurally and maintain their ... Myelin is a concentrically laminated membrane structure surrounding an axon around which lamellae (or cellular protrusions ...

Scientists also classify neurons into four groups based on structural differences: Supportive cells, called glial cells ...

For example, in adult mammal brains, neurons rarely divide. However, glial cells in ... is also critical to tissue structure, because it provides attachment sites for cells and relays information ...

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 ...

New research published in the journal Disease Models & Mechanisms offers insights into how glial cells — the supportive cells ...

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.

the possibility that viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 could infect neurons or glial cells in our brain is less well documented, with reports that show contradictory results. Up to one third of COVID-19 ...

A new study finds that RNA editing by ADAR1 in astrocytes contributes to neuroinflammation in Parkinson’s disease. Using ...

In Alzheimer’s disease and related neurodegenerative diseases, excess activation of glial cells causes neuroinflammation and damage to neurons. The study found that increasing glucose uptake in ...
