In many ways our ideas about CNS and PNS glial cells have changed along a similar trajectory during recent years. In both cases, novel and unexpected glial functions have been determined and glia ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading neurodegenerative disease manifesting cognitive impairment. Its procession is regulated by activated glial cell-mediated neuroinflammation. Although estrogen ...

A new study has found important clues about the roles age, sex, hormonal changes and genetics play in how certain biomarkers ...

Glial cells come in many forms, but three major types are currently recognized: astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and microglia. The first are primarily involved in creating the blood-brain barrier and ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Multidisciplinary Sciences have now shown that, in addition to neurons, special glial cells in the brain also produce amyloid beta. This finding ...

Our Mission: To uncover the mechanisms of glial development & dysfunction & develop breakthrough therapies. Driving a fundamentally different approach to understanding and treating neurological ...

They found that the brain’s glial cells were susceptible to COVID-19 infection. Until UTSA’s discovery, there hadn’t been much scientific reporting on the glial cell and SARS-CoV-2 connection. “Glial ...

Research Interests: Pain modulation systems; immune and glial regulation of neuronal function; immune-to-brain communication; glial regulation of pain, opioid analgesia, drugs of abuse, ...

At Brigham and Women’s Hospital, the cancer biologist is combining research into the tumor microenvironment with the principles of neuroscience to tease apart how cancers grow—and how to stop them.

A long-term study reveals how age, sex, genetics, and menopause influence blood biomarkers related to dementia. The study ...

A new study reveals how age, sex, menopause, and genetics influence key blood biomarkers linked to dementia risk.
