A new study reveals that nerve cells receive periodic infusions of mitochondria from neighboring cells — and this may point ...

For millions living with nerve pain, even a light touch can feel unbearable. Scientists have long suspected that damaged ...

Transferring mitochondria, or the glial cells that produce them, to mice with nerve damage mitigated pain, suggesting a ...

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain’s support cells ...

For millions living with nerve pain, even a light touch can feel unbearable. Scientists have long suspected that damaged nerve cells falter because ...

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain's support cells ...

Neurons, nerve cells in the brain, are central players in brain function. However, a key role for glia, long considered support cells, is emerging. A research group has now discovered two new types of ...

Case Western Reserve University has established an Institute for Glial Sciences to advance research of glial cells and their critical role in the health and diseases of the nervous systems, including ...

Researchers have uncovered a fundamental role of glial cells in the nervous system of the gut in maintaining a healthy intestine. These cells have been found to coordinate the immune responses of the ...

Researchers developed a way to directly reprogram human glial cells into PV interneurons without passing through a stem‑cell stage.

Neurons in mammalian neocortex are aligned in columnar or radial units that receive similar inputs and serve similar functions 11. The ‘radial unit hypothesis’ of neocortical development proposes that ...
