Background: Neurons have dominated neuroscience research for decades, but a growing body of evidence suggests that a group of non-neuronal brain cells called glia may play an equal or greater role in ...
When it comes to brain cells, neurons get the most attention. Their central role in our thoughts, sensations and behaviors has captivated scientists. But neurons are only half the story: glia, ...
In Tesar’s own lab, he and his team have already made discoveries about glial cells leading to groundbreaking advancements in treatments for neurologic diseases. For example, their research has ...
Huntington's disease has long defied attempts to rescue suffering neurons. A new study in Cell Reports shows that transplanting healthy human glial progenitor cells into the brains of adult animal ...
New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy ...
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, and ...
