Aβ plaques have been shown to activate the complement system which ... decreased amyloid deposits and glial cell reactivity in the hippocampus and cortex, compared with untreated animals.

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.

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Multidisciplinary Sciences have now shown that, in addition to neurons, special glial cells in the brain also produce amyloid beta. This finding ...

The platform reprograms endogenous glial cells like astrocytes ... pursuing deals with leading gene therapy companies that can complement its technology, said NeuExcell CEO, Ronald Lorijn.

Take the evolution of sex, for instance. To make the move from asexual to sexual reproduction, nature took a system by which parent cells reproduced simply by dividing (asexual reproduction ...

Two new nuclei are formed. Each nucleus now contains four chromosomes (two sets of two chromosomes) exactly the same complement as the original parent cell. The cytoplasm of the cell then divides ...

According to many experts, we may soon find ourselves using fuel cells to generate electrical power for all sorts of objects we use every day. A fuel cell is a device that uses a source of fuel ...

Cells are the smallest unit of life and the building blocks for all organisms. Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus ...

Benjamin Deneen, Ph.D. seeks to unlock the enigmatic biology surrounding glial cell development and function in the brain. His work has revealed new paradigms for neural development and brain tumor ...

PPs may be adjoined to both NP and VP or they may function as a complement to either category. Given a phrase with a PP, it is not easy to determine the PP is a complement or a modifier. A couple of ...

Here’s how it works. There's a lot of things to consider when searching for the best cell phone plan, from coverage to perks. But when I'm evaluating plans, the question I ultimately ask myself ...

Welcome to Mitosis vs. Meiosis. This half of the screen illustrates mitosis—the division of a cell's nucleus. Along with cytokinesis (the division of the rest of a cell), mitosis results in a ...
