Like other cells, each neuron has a cell body (or soma) that contains a nucleus, smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, and other cellular components. Neurons also contain unique structures, illustrated inFigure 2for receiving and sending the electrical signals that m...
Glial cells of insects, in common with those of other organisms, are invariably associated with neurons and are active partners in glial—neuronal relationships. In recent years, great interest has developed in the interactions between neurons and glia and cell culture approaches have provided ...
1.组成ENS的最重要的两大类细胞是neurons和glial cells. 这两种细胞都起源于神经嵴细胞(neural crest cells).2.肠glia参与多种生物过程,包括神经炎症,癌症,感染等,此时glia会形态变化为促炎症型和促肿瘤型。在这些情况下,glia功能的丢失和获得都与ENS稳态和胃肠病理生理学密切相关。3.肠glia的分类:根据位置可以...
The astonishing morphological diversity of bilaterian glia seems related to diverse functions these cells perform: providing energy to neurons, maintaining the extracellular environment of neurons, immune response, serving as stem cells to generate glia and neurons in the adult brain, formation of the b...
Confocal micrograph of the cytoskeleton of a mixed population of granule neurons and glial cells. The F-actin was stained with red-fluorescent Texas Red®-X phalloidin (Cat. No. T7471). The microtubules were detected with a mouse monoclonal anti–ß-tubulin primary antibody...
Radial glial cells, ubiquitous throughout the developing CNS, guide radially migrating neurons and are the precursors of astrocytes. Recent evidence indicates that radial glial cells also generate neurons in the developing cerebral cortex. Here we invest
The protocols in this section describe the steps involved in differentiating neural stem cells (NSC) to neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocyte lineagesin vitro. NSCs are self-renewing multipotent stem cells that can be proliferatedin vitroin supportive ...
The brain is composed of highly specialized and diverse populations of cells, represented by neurons and glia that comprise astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia. Although microscopic evaluation of icteric brain sections revealed bilirubin within neurons, neuronal processes, and microglia, cell ...
Using systematic random sampling and an optical fractionator design, the total number of neuron and glial cells in the MD subdivisions: parvocellular (MDPC), magnocellular (MDMC), and densocellular (MDDC) were counted in brains from 9 schizophrenic and 8 control subjects. The control subjects ...
In neurons, Cx36 staining was mostly uniform in somata and fibers of all sizes and its intensity increased at the cell membranes. This labeling pattern was in contrast with Cx36 IF dots mainly found at junctional membranes in islet beta cells used as a control tissue. Co-staining with anti...
