Moli Morgon, a young British woman, experienced seizures during a Turkish holiday initially suspected as heatstroke. Upon ...

In the hippocampus, a critical brain region for learning and memory, new cells emerge in some people into late adulthood, ...

Glial cells, whose function is poorly understood, seem to cooperate actively with neurons to sculpt neural circuits in the developing brain, according to two studies published in the April 20 Current ...

Damaged brain tissue can be re-grown using a new method that lets researchers guide stem cells into exactly the type of brain cells they need for a particular spot. They're targeting new ...

The results showed that the presence of glial cells can change the tissue stiffness compared to their absence. Accordingly, it could be suggested that changes in the mechanical properties of injured ...

According to the available statistics, brain injury and concussion have been the most common causes of death in recent years. Progress in biomechanics has led to the recognition of many of the current ...

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.

Here, we describe an immunopanning protocol to acutely isolate glial cells from post-mortem human brain tissue for e.g. transcriptome and proteome analyses. We enriched for microglia, oligodendrocytes ...

The researchers say interferon gamma-enteric glial cell signaling emerges as a fundamental mechanism in maintaining and restoring tissue integrity. By monitoring interferon gamma levels at steady ...

To do this, they blocked the ability of enteric glial cells to be activated by interferon gamma and found that this led to tissue inflammation even in normal mice.
