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 ...

New research by Yale has found an association between exposure to chemicals commonly used in firefighting and incidence of a ...

Traumatic brain injury, stroke, and degenerative diseases elicit complex pathogenic cascades involving glial cells such as astrocytes, microglia, and ...

In a recently published review, researchers led by Prof. Wu Qingfeng at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences explored the ongoing process of neural ...

The brain is an information-processing organ ... signals but still form an important part of the nervous system. Glial cells provide structural and other kinds of support to neurons and help ...

COVID-19 often causes long-term neurological symptoms, the causes of which remain unexplained. Researchers at the HUN-REN Institute of Experimental Medicine (HUN-REN KOKI), Budapest, Hungary have ...

Complex housing offers varied stimulating conditions. The aim is to enhance cognitive and physical development, as well as overall wellbeing and social interaction benefits.

Firefighters with increased exposure to certain chemical compounds are more likely to develop gliomas -- the most common type ...

a low-grade glioma is a type of slow-growing brain tumor that arises from glial cells, which support and protect neurons. These tumors are considered grade I or II and are generally less ...

A new therapy offers hope for treating pediatric brain tumors, targeting cancer cells while minimizing side effects for young ...

Despite substantial efforts, the molecular mechanisms by which 25-OHC affects glial cells in diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) remain unclear. Against this backdrop, a research ...
