A new study published in Nature Communications shows that human glial progenitor cells are a promising and safe cell product ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Background: Neurons have dominated neuroscience research for decades, but a growing body of evidence suggests that a group of non-neuronal brain cells called glia may play an equal or greater role in ...

Huntington's disease has long defied attempts to rescue suffering neurons. A new study in Cell Reports shows that transplanting healthy human glial progenitor cells into the brains of adult animal ...

The research details how neurons and glial cells utilize leucine-derived acetyl-coenzyme A (AcCoA) rather than canonical ...

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 ...
