Glial cells make up theotherbrain cells. They are a diverse group of cells that are versatile in their range of functions. 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...
Cell-type-specific markers for distinguishing and studying neurons and the major classes of glial cells in culture. We have used 4 cell-type-specific markers to identify individual glial and neuronal cells in dissociated cell cultures of neonatal rat sciatic nerve, dorsa... MC Raff,KL Fields,SI...
There are four types of glial cells in the central nervous system; astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglial cells, and ependymal cells. Astrocytes are found in the brain and spinal cord, and have a starlike appearance. They are involved in the maintenance of the chemical environment required for ...
The two cell types of the nervous tissue are the neurons and the glial cells, or neuroglia. Neurons generate and transmit (conduct) electrical...Become a member and unlock all Study Answers Start today. Try it now Create an account Ask a questi...
In recent years it has become increasingly clear, that these glial cells also take over other functions in the brain. They may communicate in a sort of network which complements and or supports the neural network. Likewise, the clarification of the ontogeny of glial cells is still a topic of...

Brain cancer treatment depends on the tumor's size, type, and location. Cancers of the brain are the consequence of abnormal growths of cells in the brain. Brain cancers can arise from primary brain cells, the cells that form other brain components (for example, membranes, blood vessels), ...
We have demonstrated the presence of at least two distinct populations of glial cells within the Drosophila antenna. GH146-glial cells originate in the brain and migrate to the antenna along the newly formed olfactory axons. The number of cells populating the third segment of the antenna is regu...
These glial cells facilitate brain homeostasis, form myelin and provide neuronal structure and support8, consistent with evidence of RNA transport across and the permeability of the blood–brain barrier16,17 and that some brain regions are in direct contact with the blood18. Similarly, we used ...
Using post-mortem brain transcriptomic data, we confirmed alterations in these cells, even at the earliest stages of disease progression. Our study provides an important framework for understanding the cellular basis of complex brain maladies, and reveals an unexpected role of oligodendrocytes in ...
