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 ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have discovered that impaired glucose metabolism in glial cells, a type of cell in our nervous system, plays a key role in the degeneration caused by ...

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 ...

The amyloid cascade—plaques to tangles to cognitive decline—has become well established. Less well understood is what role inflammation and glial changes play. Now, by analyzing single-nuclei RNA-Seq ...

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 ...

Husniye Kantarci was part of a team that discovered the role of glial cells in controlling neural development, learning and numerous diseases. Husniye Kantarci and Brad Zuchero (left to right) and ...
