Transferring mitochondria, or the glial cells that produce them, to mice with nerve damage mitigated pain, suggesting a ...

For millions living with nerve pain, even a light touch can feel unbearable. Scientists have long suspected that damaged ...

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 ...

Enteric glial cells (EGCs) are now recognised as pivotal players in maintaining gastrointestinal homeostasis. Once regarded merely as supportive neural elements, emerging evidence reveals that these ...

Husniye Kantarci was part of a team that discovered the role of glial cells in controlling neural development, learning and numerous diseases. Husniye Kantarci and Brad Zuchero (left to right) and ...

Researchers developed a way to directly reprogram human glial cells into PV interneurons without passing through a stem‑cell stage.

Neurons are the most well-known cells in the brain but they are not the only type of cell in this organ. The other main type is the glial cells, also known as neuroglia. Glia comes from the Greek word ...

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 ...

For millions living with nerve pain, even a light touch can feel unbearable. Scientists have long suspected that damaged nerve cells falter because ...
