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

Enhanced glucose uptake in glial cells might help fight AD. In Alzheimer’s disease and related neurodegenerative diseases, excess activation of glial cells causes neuroinflammation and damage to ...

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 ...

Diminishing energy production in aging neurons triggers senescence in nearby glial cells, which ordinarily support and protect neurons. With age, some cells in the brain enter a state of senescence: ...

An estimated 86 billion neurons in the average human brain govern our body’s functions and conjure — somehow — the human mind. C. elegans has 302 neurons in one sex and a few more in the other.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. From the moment you swallow a bite of food to the moment it exits your body, the gut is toiling to process this strange outside material ...
