New work in nematodes could help scientists build a more clinically relevant picture of brain organization and function. Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center scientists showed how an individual glial cell in ...

Neuroscientists at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center have found that an often-overlooked type of brain cell called glia has more of a role in brain function than previously thought.

Case Western Reserve University has established an institute devoted to a research subject that university experts see as the next crucial area of medical research. The Institute for Glial Sciences ...

Young glial progenitor cells competitively replace aged and diseased human glia, suggesting a therapeutic strategy for disorders involving glial cell dysfunction.

However, the benefit from glial modulation was short-lasting and the performance of eye movement soon became indistinguishable from control. When the glial activity was inhibited by ArchT, online ...

Researchers have found that glial cells coordinate the immune responses of the gut following pathogen invasion and could be key targets when exploring new treatments for inflammatory bowel conditions.

In a preclinical study published in the journal Glia, Peter King, M.D., and Burt Nabors, M.D., show that their small molecule drug, SRI-42127, can potently attenuate the triggers of neuroinflammation.

Researchers discovered two new types of glial cells that may play a role in brain repair and neuroplasticity.

Neurons, nerve cells in the brain, are central players in brain function. However, a key role for glia, long considered support cells, is emerging. A research group has now discovered two new ...

Glial cells play a variety of roles in the brain and are highly dynamic cells.
