Increasing multidisciplinarity has also boosted information flow, as researchers who had previously focused exclusively on neurons have begun to consider glial cells in their experimental designs.

How does the brain store—and access—our memories? While our understanding of the brain has (thankfully) developed greatly ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Multidisciplinary Sciences have now shown that, in addition to neurons, special glial cells in the brain also produce amyloid beta. This finding ...

New research highlights neuroglia (or glia cells) as critical players in mental health, potentially influencing conditions like depression and schizophrenia.

2 The CNS is made up of neurons and glial cells, with the latter group—including astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia—exhibiting greater diversity and function than neurons. Once ...

The increasing implication of glial cells in neurodegenerative diseases makes them an appealing addition to iPSC-based model systems for investigating disease mechanisms. Over the last decade, Dr.

Neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease are among the most debilitating and life-altering ...

Researchers have successfully demonstrated how astroglia—cells that support the functioning ... in converting astroglia into functioning neurons, much more so than the form of the protein ...

neural stem cells develop into nerve cells (or neurons), which send and receive messages throughout the brain, as well as into various types of glial cells, which are supportive cells recently ...
