When stressed, enteric glia cells showed increased proinflammatory pathways, which worsened bowel inflammation by attracting more white blood cells. The team also found that stress increased the ...

et al. Sox3-null hypopituitarism depends on median eminence NG2-glia and is influenced by aspirin and gut microbiota., PLoS Genetics (2024). DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1011395 ...

our work reinforces how important the gut-brain link is. The next step for this research will be to work out exactly how ...

For many years, glia cells, non-neuronal cells present in the same numbers as neurons in the brain, were thought to play only a supporting role, providing structure, insulation, and nutrients for ...

The team chose to study glia, dendrites, and cilia in the nematode C. elegans, a model organism cherished by basic researchers for its straightforward genetics and well-studied biology. An ...

Anti-brain aging to increase healthy lifespan: Our long-term goal is to identify molecular and cellular mechanisms that contribute to brain aging, including glia-neuron interactions, systemic ...
