Breast cancer cells send microRNA-filled vesicles to the brain, creating a nutrient-rich environment that facilitates ...

Careful clustering of these molecules ensures that the glial cell can conduct a distinct "conversation" with each neuron. Through these molecular facilitators, glia can influence how neurons ...

Interestingly, the impulses, also called action potentials, originate from tumor cells that are part neuron and part glia, ...

New research has identified crucial links between dietary choices and the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS). The study explored how enzymes called ceramide synthase 5 and 6 are responsible for ...

Newly published research in the journal Glia has identified crucial links between dietary choices and the progression of ...

Such challenges demand that neuron replacement be viewed as an expression ... mature neurons or to glioblasts that yield mature glial cells (Glia) in appropriate ratios. Signals emanating from ...

Research published in the journal Glia has identified crucial links between dietary choices and the progression of multiple ...

Receptor in the skin detects a stimulus (the change in temperature). Sensory neuron sends electrical impulses to a relay neuron, which is located in the spinal cord of the CNS. Relay neurons ...

Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases pose significant health challenges due to neuron ...

The top panel shows a view of the inside of a neuron where C16 fatty acid derived from palm oil is being synthesized into ceramide C16 (CerC16), which impairs mitochondrial function and results in ...
