In many ways our ideas about CNS and PNS glial cells have changed along a similar trajectory during recent years. In both cases, novel and unexpected glial functions have been determined and glia ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Multidisciplinary Sciences have now shown that, in addition to neurons, special glial cells in the brain also produce amyloid beta. This finding ...

A new study reveals how age, sex, menopause, and genetics influence key blood biomarkers linked to dementia risk.

Glial cells come in many forms, but three major types are currently recognized: astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and microglia. The first are primarily involved in creating the blood-brain barrier and ...

Glial acidic proteins are released when cells work to repair injury. Phosphorylated tau 181 is linked to the buildup of ...

In a study published in Cell, a research team led by Prof. Li Hanjie from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology ...

The Deneen Lab seeks to unlock the enigmatic biology surrounding glial cell development and function in the brain. Beginning with developmental gliogenesis, we identified the key transcriptional ...

At Brigham and Women’s Hospital, the cancer biologist is combining research into the tumor microenvironment with the principles of neuroscience to tease apart how cancers grow—and how to stop them.

A long-term study reveals how age, sex, genetics, and menopause influence blood biomarkers related to dementia. The study ...
