Researchers developed a way to directly reprogram human glial cells into PV interneurons without passing through a stem‑cell stage.

When it comes to brain cells, neurons get the most attention. Their central role in our thoughts, sensations and behaviors has captivated scientists. But neurons are only half the story: glia, ...

Glia make up most of the cells in the brain, yet until recently they were believed to have only a passive, supporting role. It is now becoming increasingly clear that these cells have other functions: ...

Neurons have dominated neuroscience research for decades, but a growing body of evidence suggests that a group of non-neuronal brain cells called glia may play an equal or greater role in shaping ...

In the theater of the brain, nerve cells have long been cast as the stars, bringing mental scenes to life with their electrical and chemical performances. Yet many of the cellular actors in the human ...

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Glia, the leader in customer interaction technology, today announced Glia Virtual Assistant (GVA) Learning 360, a first-of-its-kind AI solution that learns how a contact ...

Neurons have always been the stars of brain research, but scientists are now realizing that nonneuronal cells known as glia—which make up around 90 percent of cells in the brain—are not the ...
