The functions of glial cells include helping to support and nourish nerve cells, or neurons. Several types of glial cells exist. Glial cells are the “glue” of the nervous system, engaging in ...

However, a key role for glia, long considered support cells, is emerging. A research group at the University of Basel has now discovered two new types of glial cells in the brain, by unleashing adult ...

However, a key role for glia, long considered support cells, is emerging. A research group has now discovered two new types of glial cells in the brain, by unleashing adult stem cells from their ...

Video explaining the identification of two new glial cell types in the brain. Credit: Fiona Doetsch Notably, humans have similar brain regions to those studied here, which suggests similar types ...

Glial cells are classified into three basic types: astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, both of which are so-called macroglia, and microglia. Astrocytes are the most common type and make up roughly 80 ...

There are two fundamentally different cell types in the brain, neurons and glial cells ... in a special rhythm -- they then generate five to ten voltage pulses per second. This rhythm causes ...

Recent efforts to better understand the biology of these conditions have focused on the brain and the different types of brain ... management and prevention. Glial cells: beyond bystanders in ...

We identified that AAV-rh10 induced robust transduction of both neuronal and glial cells. Even though efficacy to transduce neurons was comparable to already established AAV-1, AAV-5 and AAV-9 ...

"We used in vivo imaging to record glial and neural activity in awake ... In their experiments, the researchers examined two distinct types of glia cells, known as astrocyte-like glia and ...
