Glial cells support neurological structures, function, cognition, behaviours, physical skills, and motor coordination.

Glial cells play an important role in supporting the body's nervous system. Several types of glial cells exist. ... Satellite cells help maintain the health and activity of neurons in the PNS.

While examining donor dorsal root ganglia in 2022, UTD researcher Stephanie Shiers kept noticing a curious structure: microscopic balls of dead sensory neurons ringed by satellite glial cells, a ...

This revises the traditional Neuron-Satellite Glial Cell duo model of the PNS based on previous studies in rodent models. The trio model highlights the unique features of PNS microglia, which may ...

Glia, once thought to be mere glue that fills the space between neurons, were largely ignored in the brain for much of the 20th century. Clearly, neurons were the cells that made things happen ...
