Hirschsprung disease, a congenital gut disorder that leaves infants unable to pass stool properly, has long been understood ...

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 ...

Homeostasis is the ability of living organisms to maintain stable internal conditions, such as temperature, hydration and blood sugar levels, irrespective of any changes in their surroundings.

A new study published in Nature Communications shows that human glial progenitor cells are a promising and safe cell product for transplantation. The research also defines the transcriptional and ...

Background: Neurons have dominated neuroscience research for decades, but a growing body of evidence suggests that a group of non-neuronal brain cells called glia may play an equal or greater role in ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
