Glia can be classified as different subsets, based on their morphology, function and location in the nervous system (Zhang, 2001). The two main glial subsets in the CNS are macroglia, including ...

Scientists have discovered that a specific type of brain cell, called an astrocyte, may be a key player in how cannabis influences the developing brain. Their new research in mice, published in ...

Astrocytes in white matter do not form a uniform population. The study highlighted two distinct types: one, widely distributed, ensures support and metabolic regulation functions. The other, located ...

However, we wondered whether glial cells, especially astrocytes, could contribute to the modulation of synaptic local protein synthesis. To address this question, we compared levels of proteins ...

Polyphosphate (polyP) exists in all life forms; however, its biological functions in metazoans are understudied. Here, we explored Drosophila as the first genetic model to explore polyP biology in ...
