It's only during the last few decades that neuroglia, a diverse group of cells found in the brain that perform a variety of ...

Glial cells come in many forms ... or predisposition toward, seizures 5. In animal models, elevated levels of the cytokine in specific areas can lower the threshold at which animals become ...

Glial cells, which can be divided into several types ... (0.4–1.2 μm in diameter), conduction velocity along the axon is 0.5–2.0 m/s (as fast as you walk or jog). In contrast, among the ...

neural stem cells develop into nerve cells (or neurons), which send and receive messages throughout the brain, as well as into various types of glial cells, which are supportive cells recently ...

The Deneen Lab seeks to unlock the enigmatic biology surrounding glial cell development and function in the brain. Beginning with developmental gliogenesis, we identified the key transcriptional ...

By these techniques we have identified novel molecules important for myelination and for the support of axons by glial cells. We have recently discovered that mechanical forces generated by the ...
