and give rise to new neurons and supporting cells called glial cells. Activation of neural stem cells or their transplantation into areas of central nervous system injury can lead to regeneration ...

Glial cells fill the competing tasks of building brain lipid stores and sustaining neuronal energy needs. Here, the authors show that Drosophila CRH-like hormone diverts glial energy usage after ...

A research team at Case Western Reserve University is pioneering a novel approach to MS treatment by targeting toxic ...

However, their treatment is challenging. Sensitization of peripheral receptors, abnormal activity of primary sensory neurons, activation of glial cells, enhanced inflammatory responses, and sensory ...

(2b) Astrocytic mitochondrial dysfunction disrupts FAO, reducing ATP production and interfering with lipid homeostasis, inhibiting the synthesis of lipids required for neuronal synapses, cell ...

For a very long time, we have been under the impression that memory and learning are solely the brain’s forte. Central to this belief is the fact that our brains, particularly our brain cells, store ...

The findings presented add considerable value to the current understanding of the role of astrocyte elimination in neuropathic pain, offering convincing evidence that supports existing hypotheses and ...

In MS, an overactive immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath, a fatty covering ... potentially regenerate nerve cells,” said Tesar, who directs the glial sciences institute.

plasma cells, myelin-specific IgG and complement are present in the active and chronic plaques of MS IgGs specific for myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein and myelin basic protein are detected in ...

Activity-dependent proliferation of healthy glial progenitors, oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs), and the consequent generation of new oligodendrocytes contributes to adaptive myelination. This ...

If your red blood cell count is low, there are things you can do to increase it, like boosting your nutrition, taking supplements, and getting medical treatment for underlying health conditions. Your ...
