Glial cells are the main type of brain cell besides neurons. Formerly thought to only play a supporting role, they are increasingly recognized as highly dynamic and interactive.

Molecular clusters on glial cells show they are more than our brain's 'glue' Underappreciated glia play central role in sensory response Date: February 29, 2024 Source: Fred Hutchinson Cancer ...

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.

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

Glial cell function in humans vs. other species Recent studies of the role of glial cells in the brain are also revealing potentially important differences between humans and other species in the ...

In the journal Cell Reports, Fred Hutch neuroscientist Aakanksha Singhvi, PhD, and her team report that a single glial cell uses different molecules to communicate with different neurons. Careful ...
