Certain diseasesaffect only specific cells within the brain. For example, the symptoms ofmultiple sclerosisare caused by damage to the glial cells that manufacture and maintain the myelin sheath that insulates axons. Without this normal nerve covering, electrical transmission is compromised and symptoms...

Glial Cells: In the nervous system, the nerve cells are supported by glial cells. The neurons cannot perform their normal functions without the support of glial cells. The central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system have certain types of g...
Cells Types:There are about 200 different types of cells in the human body. The reason why there are so many cell types is because there are many different processes the body goes through every day that are mediated by different systems in the body. There are blood cells, nerv...
fibromyalgia if they had any pain conditions other than fibromyalgia. The researchers conducted a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) study using [11C]PBR28, which binds to the translocator protein (TSPO), a protein upregulated in activated microglia and astrocytes, which are types of ...
`U' scientists discover brain's clean-up cells can `talk'; So glial cells can talk. So what? It means that the brain apparently has two independent communication networks. That finding, if confirmed, would greatly enhance scientists' understanding of how the brain works and open new areas ...
Official answer: There are no antibiotics that kill the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the virus which causes COVID-19. Antibiotics work on bacteria...
It has long been the view that the neurons in the brain are responsible for its ability to process information from external cues and adapt accordingly. The key to this is the brain's ability to...doi:10.1007/978-981-15-6883-1_2Iannella, Nicolangelo...
