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, and ...

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

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

While brain cells do the heavy lifting in the nervous system, it's the glia that provide nutrients, clean up waste, and protect neurons from harm. Neurons may get all the glory, but they would be ...

The reported findings, published today in Cell Stem Cell, will certainly be of deep interest to scientists studying a range ...

Discover how neural stem cells activate in the adult human brain, unlocking potential for regeneration, repair, and new ...

Scientists have discovered that neural stem cells (NSCs) receive constant feedback from their daughter cells, influencing whether they remain dormant or activate to form new neurons and glia.

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have discovered a novel mechanism involved in brain development. They found that small ...

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 ...

Here, we highlight the complex molecular signaling that takes place in neurons, glial cells and the blood-brain barrier following ischemic insult. We also describe the evidence of TRPM2 ...

A rapid blood test could speed treatment for people who have suffered a stroke related to brain bleeding, a new study says.
