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.

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

An often-ignored type of cell in the brain plays a dynamic and surprisingly complex role in our ability to process ...

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 ...

The increasing implication of glial cells in neurodegenerative diseases makes them an appealing addition to iPSC-based model systems for investigating disease mechanisms. Over the last decade, Dr.

AskBio's approach meanwhile will involve using an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector to deliver a gene for human glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) into the neurons in the putamen.
