Microglial activation is a determining factor that allows amyloid-beta accumulation to drive reactive astrogliosis, amplifying inflammatory responses in the brain. This was the conclusion of a study ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Glia, the leader in customer interaction technology, today announced Glia Virtual Assistant (GVA) Learning 360, a first-of-its-kind AI solution that learns how a contact ...

Steep intracranial pressure (ICP) rise constitutes a hallmark of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). While during aneurysm rupture there are multiple simultaneous triggers that can initiate an ...

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 ...

Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is the main water channel expressed primarily by astrocytes in the brain. AQP4 is highly polarized to astrocyte endfeet and facilitates the bidirectional transport of water within ...

Diminishing energy production in aging neurons triggers senescence in nearby glial cells, which ordinarily support and protect neurons. With age, some cells in the brain enter a state of senescence: ...
