Interrupting signals exchanged between tumors and the nervous system could become a critical pillar of cancer care ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do ... supporting players detect and respond to neuron damage. Published in Nature Communications ...

In proof-of-concept experiments, we describe the presence of both glia- and neuron-cfDNA in the blood plasma of human subjects following mild trauma. This detection of glia- and neuron-cfDNA ...

In this important study, the authors examine early-life critical periods that regulate the Drosophila antennal lobe and show that constant odor exposure markedly reduces the volume, synapse number, ...

They are more abundant than neurons in most neural tissues and provide metabolic and catabolic regulation, maintaining the homeostatic balance at the synapse. Chronic pain is generated and sustained ...

Each neuron receives signals from both excitatory and inhibitory synapses. The interconnections ... Other Brain Cells (Glia) Although neurons are considered the basic units of the brain and ...

One gene, GSK3β, weakens neuron defenses against oxidative stress. ApoE4 astrocytes cause hyperactivity and oxidative stress in neurons. This isn’t the first 3D model system involving hiPSC-derived ...

Cut off any part of this worm's body and it will regrow. This is the spectacular yet mysterious regenerative ability of ...

New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal ... crucial supporting players detect and respond to neuron damage. Published in Nature Communications, the study ...
