Researchers have transplanted cells capable of forming specialized brain support cells into mice brains and found that they not only competed with and replaced unhealthy cells but aged ones, too. The ...

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 ...

Neural antibodies can specifically recognize and label molecules on nerve cells, assisting in setting apart and identifying various nerve cells and finding their roles. These antibodies have huge ...

Glia constitute roughly half of the cells of the central nervous system (CNS) butwere long-considered to be static bystanders to its formation and function. Here we provide an overview of how the ...

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 ...

Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) is a very rare primary central nervous system (CNS) tumor. A PXA may form in the brain or spinal cord. The tumor can be benign or cancerous. Glial cells are cells ...

When it comes to brain cells, neurons get the most attention. Their central role in our thoughts, sensations and behaviors has captivated scientists. But neurons are only half the story: glia, ...

Neuroinflammation refers to an inflammatory reaction in the brain or spinal cord. It is driven by the production of molecules such as cytokines, chemokines, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and ...

Gliosarcoma is a rare type of cancerous tumor that develops in the central nervous system (CNS). It grows in the brain or spinal cord and can affect functions such as movement and memory. Tumors that ...
