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 ...

Glial cells in the Drosophila nervous system play indispensable roles in neural development, function, and homeostasis. These non-neuronal cells facilitate a range of processes, including the ...

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 ...

While the role of barrier function in establishing a protective, nutrient-rich, and ionically balanced environment for neurons has been appreciated for some time, little is known about how signaling ...

Half of the cells in the brain are neurons, the other half are glial cells. When scientists first discovered glia over a century ago, they thought that they simply held the neurons together. Their ...

Case Western Reserve University has established an Institute for Glial Sciences to advance research of glial cells and their critical role in the health and diseases of the nervous systems, including ...

Every stroke begins with a sudden interruption of blood flow in the brain. But what happens afterward—why neurons continue to ...

Artistic rendering generated by DALL.E. “The drawing of the fruit fly Drosophila in a dark background in the style of Seurat". The researchers fed fruit flies high sugar diets and examined the effect ...

Glial cells also play a crucial role in brain regeneration and overall function. The complexities involving glia, gliotransmitters, neurons, neurotransmitters, neurogenesis, synapses, synaptogenesis, ...
