The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for ...

Fred Hutch researchers have created a gene-expression map of glial cells of the tiny worm, C. elegans, adding the missing ...

Glial cells help support, connect, and protect the neurons of the central and peripheral nervous systems. They come in many shapes, sizes, and types, each performing specialized functions.

At five weeks old—when symptoms have just begun but before severe decline—these mice received injections directly into their striata of human glial progenitor cells, early-stage glia that can mature ...

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 ...

Research shows that neurogenesis, collateral sprouting, synaptogenesis, exercise, and an enriched complex housing environment ...

Stanford researchers discovered that dialing down an overactive enzyme, LRRK2, can regrow lost cellular “antennae” in key ...

Now, researchers at Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet say they’ve found the clearest answer yet. They report the discovery of ...

A glioma is a type of brain tumor that forms from glial cells. These cells support and protect neurons in the brain. There are many types and subdivisions of gliomas. Gliomas are the most common ...
