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 ...

Pediatric gliomas are also known as childhood gliomas. They’re a type of tumor that can develop in a child’s central nervous system (CNS), including their brain or spinal cord. Gliomas are tumors that ...

Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells that play a crucial role in various neurophysiological processes. They not only support nervous system structures but also contribute 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 ...

Scientific and technological advances in the health field have contributed to improvements in the quality of life and an increase in life expectancy for the ...

The human brain is a three-pound wonder, capable of amazing things right alongside everyday behaviors so automatic we don’t even notice they’re there. The brain is made up of two kinds of cells.

Diminishing energy production in aging neurons triggers senescence in nearby glial cells, which ordinarily support and protect neurons. With age, some cells in the brain enter a state of senescence: ...

The human brain contains nearly 86 billion neurons, constantly exchanging messages like an immense social media network, but neurons do not work alone – glial cells, neurotransmitters, receptors, and ...
