Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be nothing without glial cells. While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste ...

Cut off any part of this worm's body and it will regrow. This is the spectacular yet mysterious regenerative ability of ...

The brain is an information-processing organ ... signals but still form an important part of the nervous system. Glial cells provide structural and other kinds of support to neurons and help ...

A day later, Taylor got a phone call to say she had an oligodendroglioma brain tumour - a rare type of brain tumour that ...

Taylor Pepper diagnosed with having a oligodendroglioma brain tumour - a rare type of brain tumour that develops from glial cells called oligodendrocytes.

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have discovered a novel mechanism involved in brain development. They found that small fragments called micronuclei produced by neuronal nuclei are released into ...

A 3D model has been developed that accurately replicates the complex structures of cerebral blood vessels, enabling researchers to mimic the blood–brain barrier.

A prehospital blood test may rapidly distinguish between ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, potentially enabling more timely, ...

Stationed within the meninges, squads of immune cells lie in wait, ready to unleash an inflammatory assault within the brain if needed. Holding these trigger-happy troops back during peacetime falls ...

Discover how a revolutionary 3D Blood-Brain Barrier model advances the understanding of neurodegenerative diseases and drug development.
