Silent cells deep in your spinal cord may hold a surprising key to healing after devastating injuries and brain disease. A ...

Once thought to play a supporting function in the brain, new research shows non-neuronal astroglial cells perform a leading role in regulating the activity of neurons and their connections. In 2019, ...

Astrocytes have a more active role in stabilizing memories than once thought. Astrocytes were thought to simply support neurons in creating the physical traces of memories in the brain, but the study ...

Cedars-Sinai investigators have discovered a healing mechanism that could one day be harnessed to help treat patients with spinal cord injuries, stroke, and neurological conditions such as multiple ...

Astrocytes are star shaped cells that make up around 35% of human brain cells. They were once thought of as cells that simply supported neurons in the central nervous system (CNS). But in recent years ...

Much of the brain is made up of a constellation of star-shaped cells called astrocytes, which play vital roles in immunity, neuron maintenance and many other functions. In Alzheimer’s disease, some ...
