Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain’s support cells ...

The human brain is a three-pound wonder, capable of amazing things right alongside everyday behaviors so automatic we don’t even notice they’re there. The brain is made up of two kinds of cells.

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 ...

Parvalbumin cells play a central role in keeping brain activity in equilibrium. They control nervcell signaling, reduce ...

Transferring mitochondria, or the glial cells that produce them, to mice with nerve damage mitigated pain, suggesting a ...

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 ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered that impaired glucose metabolism in glial cells, a type of cell in our nervous system, plays a key role in the degeneration caused by ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain's support cells ...

Oligodendroglioma is a rare type of brain tumor. It’s in a category of brain and spinal cord tumors called gliomas. These are brain or spinal cord tumors that come from abnormal glial cells, the ...
