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, ...

CRISPR construct to genetically ablate the GABA transporter GAT3 in the mouse visual cortex, with effects on population-level neuronal activity. This work is important, as it sheds light on how GAT3 ...

Long overlooked and underestimated, glial cells – non-neuronal cells that support, protect and communicate with neurons – are ...

A collaborative research team has successfully developed a novel fluorescent probe, SLY (Sialyl Lewis Yellow), capable of ...

The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for ...

Huntington's disease has long defied attempts to rescue suffering neurons. A new study in Cell Reports shows that transplanting healthy human glial progenitor cells into the brains of adult animal ...

New studies show that astrocytes, long thought to be support cells in the brain, are crucial intermediaries for relaying messages to neurons.

Off-label use of fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan in desmoplastic small round cell tumor.. If you have the appropriate software installed, you can download article citation data to the citation manager of ...

The goal of my research program is to define the molecular mechanisms that regulate how glial cells take on harmful or beneficial cell states in health and disease. I am particularly interested in how ...

Researchers noticed in their experiments that PROX1 tended to accumulate in mouse Müller glial cells—which act as support cells for retinal neurons—after an injury.

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered that impaired glucose metabolism in glial cells, a type of cell in our nervous system, plays a key role in the degeneration caused by ...

Chemists found a way to identify a complex sugar molecule in the cell walls of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the world's deadliest pathogen. This labeling could lead to simpler, faster TB tests.
