New research highlights neuroglia (or glia cells) as critical players in mental health, potentially influencing conditions like depression and schizophrenia.

Scientists have successfully reprogrammed astroglia, a type of brain support cell, into neurons that mimic specific ...

How does the brain store—and access—our memories? While our understanding of the brain has (thankfully) developed greatly from the days of removing cerebral tissue to see what would happen, a precise ...

Research indicates that certain enzymes in neurons play a role in mediating the toxic effects of diets high in palm oil.

New research has identified crucial links between dietary choices and the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS). The study explored how enzymes called ceramide synthase 5 and 6 are responsible for ...

Researchers discovered that the enzyme TYK2 transforms the normal protein tau into one that accumulates in the brain and contributes to the development of Alzheimer’s disease in animal models. The ...

Research published in the journal Glia has identified crucial links between dietary choices and the progression of multiple ...

The increasing implication of glial cells in neurodegenerative diseases makes them an appealing addition to iPSC-based model systems for investigating disease mechanisms.

Many studies have shown that the accumulation of tau in neurons and glial cells in the brain is a main characteristic of ...

Richard F. Ludueña, Professor Emeritus at the University of Texas Health San Antonio, discusses his innovative approach to ...

A new resource by Rappe et al (2024) now provides a spatiotemporal landscape of mitophagy changes during mouse brain aging at ...
