Volume 132. Glial Cell FunctionAlthough knowledge of the development and differentiation of glial cells has significantly increased in recent years, there are still many questions unanswered. The first section of the book is devoted to this very active topic and includes contributions on Schwann cells...
Glial cells were first discovered in 1838 by Robert Remak. He discovered Schwann cells (named after Theodor Schwann, who confirmed Remak’s discovery), which are a type of glial cell that covers the neuron’s long axon. After this initial breakthrough, numerous other glial cells were uncovered...
The nuclear receptor farnesoid-X-receptor (FXR; NR1H4) is expressed not only in the liver, gut, kidney and adipose tissue but also in the immune cells. FXR has been shown to confer protection in several animal models of inflammation, including experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an...
Glial cells have the ability to maintain [K+]o at a constant level. This function has been called "K+-spatial buffering". K+ channels are believed to be involved in K+-spatial buffering. Kir4.1 in retinal glial cells and Kir2.1, Kir2.3 and Kv1.5 in Schwann cells have been identified....

Among these cells, glial cells have emerged as crucial protagonists in the regulation of synaptic transmission and neural function. Indeed, these cells express a wide range of receptors that enable them to sense changes in neuronal activity and the microenvironment by responding locally via the ...
