The team chose to study glia, dendrites, and cilia in the nematode C. elegans, a model organism cherished by basic researchers for its straightforward genetics and well-studied biology.

To better model how neurons fire and interact with glia, some scientists place the cells into a brain or grow them in an organoid. Others have produced little spheres of human neural tissue by ...

Biochemical signals from muscles during exercise promote neuron growth and maturation Physical stimulation of neurons mimics exercise-induced effects Insights pave the way for exercise-based nerve ...

First look at neuron–tumor connections in brain illuminates formation and spread of gliomas by Stephanie Dutchen, Harvard Medical School Editors' notes ...

Schwartz: The Jennifer Aniston neuron comes from a study done by a neurosurgeon named Itzhak Fried, who was putting electrodes into the brain to treat epilepsy. He was able to record single ...

"Interestingly, we found non-tumor cells that are neuron-glia hybrids, suggesting that this hybrid population not only plays a role in glioma growth but also contributes to healthy brain function." ...

Glial cells called astrocytes stretch out many tendrils toward nearby neurons. “A single astrocyte glia interacts with a hundred-odd neurons in the human brain by some estimates,” Singhvi said. But, ...

For their newly reported research, Reh and colleagues genetically modified human Müller glia in the lab to switch on neuron-specific genetic programs that would naturally happen in fish.
