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 ...

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

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 ...

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

"Many studies have shown that the accumulation of tau in neurons and glial cells in the brain is a main characteristic of Alzheimer's disease and at least 24 more neurological diseases," said first ...

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 ...

In the brain, one way that neurons communicate with one another is through secretion of glutamate. Astrocytes, a type of glial cell, mop up extra glutamate, convert it to glutamine—the precursor for ...

Researchers from Tohoku University discovered that part of the memory selection process depends on the function of astrocytes ...
