Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the ...

New research reveals the cellular secrets of aging, with cutting-edge single-cell data mapping how neurons, glial cells, and immune systems reshape the aging brain. Study: Brain-wide cell-type ...

Our brains contain two main types of cells: neurons and glial cells. Although less well-known, glial cells actually make up 90% of brain cells. Their name comes from “glia” - Latin for “glue.” ...

The increasing implication of glial cells in neurodegenerative diseases makes them an appealing addition to iPSC-based model systems for investigating disease mechanisms. Over the last decade, Dr.

Traditionally, scientists organized brain cells into two major types: neurons and glial cells. Neurons carry electrochemical signals, a bit like the copper wiring in a building. Glial cells ...
