The mini review brings together emerging evidence showing that glial cells actively influence disease progression and ...

The other cells, neuroglia, were believed to function as the brain's janitorial staff, keeping the environment appropriate for optimal neuronal signaling. Then, scientists discovered that neuroglia ...

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 shaping ...

Neurons like it tidy. Brain cells called glia help neurons perform at their best by cleaning up toxic cellular debris. But a diet high in sugar makes glia insulin resistant — which turns them into ...

Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells that play a crucial role in various neurophysiological processes. They not only support nervous system structures but also contribute to ...
