Changes in glial subtypes appear to drive these trajectories ... "We also need to transition our trajectories derived from brain tissue to biofluids -- blood or cerebrospinal fluid -- that can ...

Glioblastoma is a type of brain cancer in which a fast-growing tumor forms in the glial tissue found in the brain and spinal cord, according to the National Cancer Institute. Having informed consent ...

which can self-renew and differentiate into specific brain cells like neurons and glial cells, holds great promise. However, the stem cells need to be delivered to the tissue in a medium that ...

One recent study, not yet peer-reviewed, has identified a new subset of glial cells that senses food as it moves through the digestive tract, signaling to the gut tissue to contract and move it ...

Tohoku University researchers have shown that Bergmann glial cells, astrocyte-like cells in the cerebellum, "eat" their neighboring neuronal elements within healthy living brain tissue. Synapses ...

Despite all our scientific advances over the last century, mood disorders like depression and anxiety remain incredibly common and difficult to treat effectively. Recent efforts to better ...

In order to investigate how enteric glial cells respond to injury, Progatzky and colleagues infected mice with Heligmosomoides polygyrus. The larvae of this nematode settle in the tunica muscularis of ...
