This explainer outlines how neurons and glial cells coordinate electrical and chemical signals to form complex brain networks ...

In 2004, Hans-Hermann Gerdes’ group from the University of Heidelberg discovered open-ended, membrane-enclosed channels between neuron-like cells ... such as neurons and astrocytes. While ...

Moreover, researchers found that PNS microglia directly enwrap neuronal somas in peripheral ganglia, forming a Neuron-PNS Microglia-Satellite Glial Cell trio model. This revises the traditional Neuron ...

Their results, published in Neuron, uncover the mechanism of how increased CLU ... particularly between brain cells called astrocytes and microglia. The findings consistently support the therapeutic ...

An illustration of how a microglia cell (gray) wraps around a pyramidal neuron (PyN – green and blue) and chandelier cell synaptic endings (ChC, red) to help synapses grow on the axon initial ...

We specifically focus on the role of microglia and astrocytes in reorganization of synapses and neural circuits. We aim to reveal the underlying mechanisms by which the brain adapts to its environment ...

being expressed predominantly in microglia and / or astrocytes ... Finland), we study NGN2-neuron maturation in human astrocyte co-cultures and electrophysiological properties in SCZ neuronal cultures ...
