Glial Cells
Glia are the non-neuronal, electrically passive cells of the nervous system. They were first defined as a distinct cell type by Rudolph Virchow in...
-
Glial Cells: Neuroglia
In the human brain glial cells are as abundant as neurons. The relative number of glial cells has increased with increasing complexity of the central...
-
Evolution of glial cells: a non-bilaterian perspective
Nervous systems of bilaterian animals generally consist of two cell types: neurons and glial cells. Despite accumulating data about the many...
-
The Biology of Glial Cells: Recent Advances
This book reviews the role of glial cells (astrocytes, microglia, oligodendroglia, satellite cells, and Schwann cells) in neuronal health and...
-
Glial Cells During the Life Cycle
Astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and oligodendrocyte precursor cells have a lifelong close relationship with each other and with neurons. Radial glia...

SIRT4 Protects Müller Glial Cells Against Apoptosis by Mediating Mitochondrial Dynamics and Oxidative Stress
SIRT4 is a member of the sirtuin family, which is related to mitochondrial function and possesses antioxidant and regulatory redox effects....
-
Glial Phenotype Plasticity
This chapter summarizes the information from the previous chapters. Due to their specific position and role in a functional circuit, neurons have a...

Immune and Glial Cells in Pain and Their Interactions with Nociceptive Neurons
While pain is sensed and conducted by neurons, including primary sensory neurons (nociceptors) and spinal cord pain transmission neurons, mounting...

Regulation of cell distancing in peri-plaque glial nets by Plexin-B1 affects glial activation and amyloid compaction in Alzheimer’s disease
Communication between glial cells has a profound impact on the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We reveal here that reactive astrocytes...

Ischemic Tolerance Induced by Glial Cells
Ischemic tolerance is a phenomenon in which resistance to subsequent invasive ischemia is acquired by a preceding noninvasive ischemic application,...
-
Contribution of Glial Cells to Polyglutamine Diseases: Observations from Patients and Mouse Models
Neurodegenerative diseases are broadly characterized neuropathologically by the degeneration of vulnerable neuronal cell types in a specific brain...
-
Adult Glial Cell Proliferation and Neurogenesis
The nomenclature of stem and progenitor cells is reviewed. In the adult body, only glial cells and not neurons can proliferate. The glial cell with...
-
Carbon Dots with Antioxidant Capacity for Detecting Glucose by Fluorescence and Repairing High-Glucose Damaged Glial Cells
Diabetic mellitus management extends beyond blood glucose monitoring to the essential task of mitigating the overexpression of reactive oxygen...
-
Isolation and Differentiation of Neurons and Glial Cells from Olfactory Epithelium in Living Subjects
The study of psychiatric and neurological diseases requires the substrate in which the disorders occur, that is, the nervous tissue. Currently,...

Enteric glial cells aggravate the intestinal epithelial barrier damage by secreting S100β under high-altitude conditions
Damage to the intestinal epithelial barrier (IEB) has been reported under high-altitude (HA) conditions and may be responsible for HA-associated...

Autolysis Affects the Iron Cargo of Ferritins in Neurons and Glial Cells at Different Rates in the Human Brain
Iron is known to accumulate in neurological disorders, so a careful balance of the iron concentration is essential for healthy brain functioning. An...
-
The Oncogenesis of Glial Cells in Diffuse Gliomas and Clinical Opportunities
Glioma is the most common and lethal intrinsic primary tumor of the brain. Its controversial origins may contribute to its heterogeneity, creating...

Effects of adenosine receptor overexpression and silencing in neurons and glial cells on lifespan, fitness, and sleep of Drosophila melanogaster
A single adenosine receptor gene ( dAdoR) has been detected in Drosophila melanogaster . However, its function in different cell types of the nervous...

Cleaved caspase-3 is present in the majority of glial cells in the intact rat spinal cord during postnatal life
Cell death is an essential process that occurs during the development of the central nervous system. Despite the availability of a wide range of...
