Until now, cells dividing by mitosis were thought to grow round and then split into two identical, spherical daughter cells. New research has found that some cells are isomorphic, meaning they ...

What happens when some cells are more like Dad than Mom A new study reveals why some people who carry disease-causing genes have no symptoms Peer-Reviewed Publication Columbia University Irving ...

Half of the cells in the brain are neurons, the other half are glial cells. When scientists first discovered glia over a century ago, they thought that they simply held the neurons together. Their ...

The risk of second tumors after chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, especially the risk of T-cell neoplasms related to viral vector integration, is an emerging concern.

Lipid droplets accumulate in microglia in mouse and cell models of amyloidosis but scientists are not sure why. Evidence suggests that Aβ helps create the glut, but now scientists led by Lingyan Shi ...

The researchers also found new lesions and new sub-structures within the lesions. “… we uncovered spatial preferences of homeostatic and DA-glia within human spinal cord samples, aligning with ...

A type of brain cell that behaves like a hybrid of neurons and glia has been spotted, and it could explain how some neurodegenerative conditions, such as Parkinson’s, develop ...

O aprofundamento do conhecimento acerca da função das células da glia no sistema endocanabinoide abrirá a possibilidade de atuação sobre a origem fisiopatológica do processo de cronificação de dor, ...

Glial cells may take on big jobs in unexpected parts of the body Found in the spleen, heart and lungs, are these neglected cells star players?

Using a new type of gel, researchers have grown “organoids” from healthy and cancerous pancreatic cells.

Researchers have found that glial cells coordinate the immune responses of the gut following pathogen invasion and could be key targets when exploring new treatments for inflammatory bowel conditions.
