"One of the tasks of oligodendrocytes is to form myelin—an insulating layer—and wrap it around the nerve fibers to ... exacerbates Alzheimer's disease. Do glial cells play an even greater ...

For decades, scientists assumed that neural stem cells (NSCs) only occur in the brain and spinal cord. A new international ...

New research shows that the adult brain can generate new neurons that integrate into key motor circuits, findings that may point to a new way to treat neurogenerative disorders.

The increasing implication of glial cells in neurodegenerative diseases makes them an appealing addition to iPSC-based model systems for investigating disease mechanisms. Over the last decade, Dr.
