Glial cells come in many forms, but three major types are currently recognized: astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and microglia. The first are primarily involved in creating the blood-brain barrier and ...

Deletion of the ‘glial cells missing-2’ gene in mice disrupts development of the parathyroid glands but does not eliminate production of parathyroid hormone (PTH), which is required for ...

The Deneen Lab seeks to unlock the enigmatic biology surrounding glial cell development and function in the brain. Beginning with developmental gliogenesis, we identified the key transcriptional ...

Pharmaceutical companies ramp up efforts to get the brain’s immune cells to help treat Alzheimer’s disease and other conditions, but not everyone agrees the approach will be effective.

A young British woman who used to drink 12 cups of coffee a day and quit because of some caffeine withdrawal symptoms like severe headaches was diagnosed with grade three oligodendroglioma—a type of ...

New research by Yale has found an association between exposure to chemicals commonly used in firefighting and incidence of a ...

Michael Barresi’s research interests are focused on how glial cells help wire the nervous system in the embryonic zebrafish brain. His lab discovered that astroglial cells provide a substrate for ...

Despite substantial efforts, the molecular mechanisms by which 25-OHC affects glial cells in diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) remain unclear. Against this backdrop, a research ...

Hoth Therapeutics (HOTH) announced preclinical findings that highlight the potential of Glial Cell Line-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, or GDNF, ...
