Although 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, oligodendrocytes, astroglia ...
.The second section of the book covers cellular interactions, the role they play on myelination and remyelination, how these interactions take place and the molecules involved.The third section of this volume focuses on the interactions of neurons with glial cells and their role in brain function...
very few neuroscientists are unaware of the fact that multiple interactions between neurons and glial cells have been described, and that they consti tute the basis for understanding the function and the pathology of the nervous system. Glial cells outnumber neurons and make up about one-half...
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...
Roles of glial cells in the formation, function, and maintenance of the neuromuscular junction Like other vertebrate synapses, the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) has glial cells that are closely associated with the pre- and post-synaptic components. Th... S Koirala,LV Reddy,CP Ko - 《Journal of...
including physical support, provision with nutrients and trophic factors (astrocytes), insulation of axons (oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells), and phagocytic functions (astrocytes and microglia). During development, radial glial cells provide a scaffold for neuronal migration, and they function as neuron...

The chapter commences with a discussion on the role of the various cells in maintaining optimal CNS function both during development and later life-stages, followed by a discussion on their role in mediating neurotoxicity. 展开 关键词:Wunder Naturgesetze ...
Based on their characteristics and function – migration, neural protection, proliferation, axonal guidance and trophic effects – glial cells may be regarded as probably the most versatile cells in our body. For many years, these cells were considered as simply support cells for neurons. Recently,...
