Glial cells support neurological structures, function, cognition, behaviours, physical skills, and motor coordination.

GFAP, or glial fibrillary acidic protein, supports star-shaped brain cells called astrocytes that help maintain nerve cell ...

Loss of synapses and dysfunctional synapses in a region-specific way is important in Alzheimer’s. It’s actually the strongest correlate of cognitive decline, far more so than plaques and tangles, ...

Fred Hutch researchers have created a gene-expression map of glial cells of the tiny worm, C. elegans, adding the missing ...

A research team at the Medical University of Vienna has developed a blood test that allows the identification of individuals ...

New research highlights how astrocytes, long considered mere support cells, actively shape brain network dynamics.

Despite concerns raised by clinicians and ethicists, direct-to-consumer testing for Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers is here, ...

A research team at the Medical University of Vienna has developed a blood test that allows the identification of individuals at risk for developing multiple sclerosis (MS) with a high degree of ...
