The Walking Dead actor Kelley Mack has died, aged 33, of glioma of the central nervous system – a type of brain cancer. The ...

Neuroglial cells include astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells, radial glial cells, Schwann cells, satellite cells, microglial cells, and enteric glial cells (Koob, 2009; Nedergaard ...

Each glial cell, microglia, astrocyte, and oligodendrocyte, achieves crucial roles in the healthy developing and mature brain. Colors were used to highlight the similar roles between glial cells2.

Scientists have studied how glial cells keep axons in shape. But comparatively few studies have investigated how glia protect and maintain dendrites and their delicate cilia. Knowing that dendrite ...

The study provides compelling evidence of the limited regenerative capacity of ependymal cells in adult primate spinal cord injury and underscores the transdifferentiation potential of astrocytes.

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