Researchers at the Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at the Texas Children’s Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The team ...

Every organ in the body is made up of a range of cell types that must coordinate their size and shape throughout the lifetime of the animal to maintain correct organ architecture and function. A focus ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children's Hospital have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain. The study published ...

Researcher have uncovered a new cell type in the human brain that fires electrical impulses. The cells are hybrids, part neuron and part glia, and are present in both glioma, a type of brain tumor, ...

Senescence, a state in which cells neither divide nor die, but simply linger, has been linked to aging and neurodegeneration. What causes such cells to appear in old brains, and how might they wreak ...

Glia (light green) respond to the loss of dendrite cilia (dark pink) by accumulating excess extracellular matrix (dark green). Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial ...

Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells that play a crucial role in various neurophysiological processes. They not only support nervous system structures but also contribute to ...
