There are different types of glial cells and each one has a specific role in helping your central nervous system (CNS)—which is made up of your brain and the nerves of your spinal column—work right. There are five types of glial cells in your CNS: Astrocytes Oligodendrocytes Microglia Epe...
Likewise, the clarification of the ontogeny of glial cells is still a topic of research in neurobiology. Astrocytes Astrocytes belong to the 3 types of glial cells in the CNS (the others are microglia and oligodendrocytes). Astroglia is used as a synonym. These cell exhibt usually a star-...

The development of nervous systems involves reciprocal interactions between neurons and glia. In the Drosophila olfactory system, peripheral glial cells arise from sensory lineages specified by the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor, Atonal. The
Glial cells are a diverse group of cells. They are responsible for various different functions from protecting the brain and making it work better.
Glial cells provide an optimal surface for attachment, migration, and growth of CNS neurons. This study was designed to investigate the ability of four glia cell types, retinal Müller Glia (MG), cortical astrocytes (CA), A7, and Oli‐neu to support the outgrowth of embryonic day 18 rat re...
Prior evidence suggests that different cell types may play a role in CCM pathogenesis. The contribution of each cell type to the dysfunctional cellular crosstalk remains unclear. Herein, RNA-seq was performed on fluorescence-activated cell sorted endothelial cells (ECs), pericytes, and neuroglia ...
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 ...
The regulation of developmental synapse elimination at NMJs is multifactorial. At the cellular level, activities of synaptic glial cells (tSCs) and converging motor axon terminals are known to affect the timing and/or the winner of this competition14,15,16,17,19,20,71. The potential influence ...
It may activate surrounding glial cells (and secondarily GnRH) through TGFα [67] or provide indirect evidence through the presence of GnRH immunoreactivity within the tumor that indicates excess GnRH production [68]. Gliomatous cells have been reported to express the GnRH receptor [69]. Other ...
