Homeostasis is the ability of living organisms to maintain stable internal conditions, such as temperature, hydration and blood sugar levels, irrespective of any changes in their surroundings.

Glial cells, once thought to serve only supportive roles in the brain, are now recognized as active participants in neural processing. Comprising ...

The study, published today in the journal Science, provides direct evidence for the real-time action of a star-shaped type of glial cell ... waste for neurons, the cells that form the brain's ...

At one time, astrocytes were thought to serve only a supporting role by providing food and removing waste for neurons ... finding evidence that glial cells play a role in brain injuries and ...

New research reveals an important role in brain function involving an abundant, but often-ignored, star-shaped type of glial cell known ... removing waste for neurons, the cells that form the ...

Glial development is the biological process by which glial cells – which comprise most of the non-neuronal cells present in the nervous system and include oligodendrocytes, astrocytes and ...

"We found that glial cells track sleep need through calcium signals that rise during wakefulness and reset with sleep," said Flores-Valle. "Surprisingly, we discovered that neurons thought to ...

A specific group of nerve cells in the brain stem appears to control how semaglutide affects appetite and weight -- without causing nausea.
