Enhanced glucose uptake in glial cells might help fight AD. In Alzheimer’s disease and related neurodegenerative diseases, excess activation of glial cells causes neuroinflammation and damage to ...

Microglial activation is a determining factor that allows amyloid-beta accumulation to drive reactive astrogliosis, amplifying inflammatory responses in the brain. This was the conclusion of a study ...

The amyloid cascade—plaques to tangles to cognitive decline—has become well established. Less well understood is what role inflammation and glial changes play. Now, by analyzing single-nuclei RNA-Seq ...

Sometimes being polite does more harm than good. When glia surround amyloid plaques, they keep their distance from one another in structured cellular nets. These manners are enforced by the axon ...

Scientific and technological advances in the health field have contributed to improvements in the quality of life and an increase in life expectancy for the ...

The Institute for Glial Sciences (IGS) is pleased to announce the inaugural Translational Glial Sciences (TGS) Conference, taking place November 4, 2025 from 12–6pm, at the Sheila and Eric Samson ...
