Glial cells come in many forms, but three major types are currently recognized: astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and microglia. The first are primarily involved in creating the blood-brain barrier and ...

In a recently published review, researchers led by Prof. Wu Qingfeng at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology ...

Traumatic brain injury, stroke, and degenerative diseases elicit complex pathogenic cascades involving glial cells such as astrocytes, microglia, and ...

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 ...

New research by Yale has found an association between exposure to chemicals commonly used in firefighting and incidence of a ...

The Deneen Lab seeks to unlock the enigmatic biology surrounding glial cell development and function in the brain. Beginning with developmental gliogenesis, we identified the key transcriptional ...

COVID-19 affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide and is often associated with long-term neurological abnormalities.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is providing several tools in revolutionising treatment options in neuro-oncology, especially in ...

Firefighters show higher rates of glioma-linked SBS42 mutational signatures associated with haloalkane exposure, suggesting ...

Despite substantial efforts, the molecular mechanisms by which 25-OHC affects glial cells in diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) remain unclear. Against this backdrop, a research ...

Hoth Therapeutics (HOTH) announced preclinical findings that highlight the potential of Glial Cell Line-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, or GDNF, ...
