Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue ...

The field of cellular neuroscience continues to reveal the intricate regulation of neural and glial cell function by water and ion channels, transporters, ...

Researchers report that a single glial cell uses different molecules to communicate with different neurons. Careful clustering of these molecules ensures that the glial cell can conduct a distinct ...

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 ...

Neuroscientists at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center have found that an often-overlooked type of brain cell called glia has more of a role in brain function than previously thought. In the journal Cell ...

Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and ...

When most of us picture the brain, we imagine billions of nerve cells flashing with electrical activity, carrying thoughts, memories and commands from one region to another. Those cells, called ...

Focusing back on the AMsh-AFD interaction, the team asked a follow-up question: KCC-3 appeared to mediate this glia-neuron interaction by localizing specifically to their interface, but how was this ...
