The figure illustrates the potential of targeting glial cell functions and their interactions with neurons as a therapeutic strategy for neurodegeneration. The mini review brings together emerging ...

Researchers report that a single glial cell uses different molecules to communicate with different neurons. Careful clustering of these molecules ensures that the glial cell can conduct a distinct ...

Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells that play a crucial role in various neurophysiological processes. They not only support nervous system structures but also contribute to ...

Enhanced glucose uptake in glial cells might help fight AD. In Alzheimer’s disease and related neurodegenerative diseases, excess activation of glial cells causes neuroinflammation and damage to ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. From the moment you swallow a bite of food to the moment it exits your body, the gut is toiling to process this strange outside material ...
