Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the ...

Immunofluorescent staining of mouse brain, showing neurons and glial cells in the hippocampus. Blue are cell nuclei, while green are microfilaments of the cell extensions. Red is a marker of DNA ...

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.

New research reveals the cellular secrets of aging, with cutting-edge single-cell data mapping how neurons, glial cells, and immune systems reshape the aging brain. Study: Brain-wide cell-type ...

The application of immunofluorescent markers and confocal microscopy revealed that the hippocampal dentate gyrus contained cells labeled for both BrdU and a neuron-specific marker: neuron-specific ...

Traditionally, scientists organized brain cells into two major types: neurons and glial cells. Neurons carry electrochemical signals, a bit like the copper wiring in a building. Glial cells ...
