Peripheral glia diversity [PDF]
Journal of Anatomy, 2021 AbstractRecent years have seen an evolving appreciation for the role of glial cells in the nervous system. As we move away from the typical neurocentric view of neuroscience, the complexity and variability of central nervous system glia is emerging, far beyond the three main subtypes: astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia.

Drosophila ClC-a is required in glia of the stem cell niche for proper neurogenesis and wiring of neural circuits [PDF]
, 2021 Glial cells form part of the neural stem cell niche and express a wide variety of ion channels; however, the contribution of these channels to nervous system develop ment is poorly understood.

Enteric glia: the most alimentary of all glia [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 2016 AbstractGlia (from Greek γλοία meaning ‘glue’) pertains to non‐neuronal cells in the central (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS) that nourish neurons and maintain homeostasis. In addition, glia are now increasingly appreciated as active regulators of numerous physiological processes initially considered exclusively under neuronal regulation.

Regenerative neurogenic response from glia requires insulin driven neuron-glia communication [PDF]
, 2021 Understanding how injury to the central nervous system induces de novo neurogenesis in animals would help promote regeneration in humans. Regenerative neurogenesis could originate from glia and glial neuron-glia antigen-2 (NG2) may sense injury-induced ...

Nature Communications, 2020 Control over T. gondii infection in the brain involves microglial cells, but how these cells execute this control is not clear. Here the authors show that unlike IL-1β dominant macrophages, microglia are primed for gasdermin-D-dependent IL-1α production ...

STAR Protocols, 2022 Summary: Here, we present a protocol to selectively downregulate GABAB receptor (GABABR) expression in astrocytes of mouse medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). We first describe the procedure of surgeries and viral injections.

STAR Protocols, 2022 Summary: Elasticity and bio-adhesiveness of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are important biomarkers of cancer. CTCs are rare in blood, thus their capture and atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based biomechanical characterization require use of ...

Effects of glutamate receptor activation on NG2-glia in the rat optic nerve [PDF]
, 2009 NG2-glia are a substantial population of cells in the central nervous system (CNS) that can be identified by their specific expression of the NG2 chondroitin sulphate (CSPG).

No Longer Underappreciated: The Emerging Concept of Astrocyte Heterogeneity in Neuroscience
Brain Sciences, 2020 Astrocytes are ubiquitous in the central nervous system (CNS). These cells possess thousands of individual processes, which extend out into the neuropil, interacting with neurons, other glia and blood vessels.

Morphological and physiological interactions of NG2-glia with astrocytes and neurons [PDF]
, 2007 Models of central nervous system (CNS) function have historically been based on neurons and their synaptic contacts - the neuronal doctrine. This doctrine envisages glia as passive supportive cells.
