Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue that holds neurons together, but glial cells can also be helpful in promoting ...
Microglial activation is a determining factor that allows amyloid-beta accumulation to drive reactive astrogliosis, amplifying inflammatory responses in the brain. This was the conclusion of a study ...
NEW YORK, NY (AUGUST 26, 2024) — A team of scientists from The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Research Institute and Case Western Reserve University has created the largest reported collection ...
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 ...
The Institute for Glial Sciences (IGS) is pleased to announce the inaugural Translational Glial Sciences (TGS) Conference, taking place November 4, 2025 from 12–6pm, at the Sheila and Eric Samson ...
Researcher have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain that fires electrical impulses. The cells are hybrids, part neuron and part glia, and are present in both glioma, a type of brain tumor, ...
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 ...
