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.

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 ...

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.

Dynamic resources of the Sanità spring at Caposele (South Italy)
Acque Sotterranee, 2014 The Sanità Spring at Caposele (NE of Campania – South Italy) is the main spring of the Sele river. Since the end of ‘800, it was indicated and was prospected as the possible base of the Acquedotto Pugliese for drinking the dry Apulia zone. The spring was

Identification of region-specific astrocyte subtypes at single cell resolution
Nature Communications, 2020 Astrocytes are a major cell type in the central nervous system. Using single cell transcriptome sequencing, the authors identify multiple astrocyte subtypes in the adult mouse CNS, which map to distinct spatial locations and show correlations to cell ...

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.

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2015 Although the ultrastructure of peripheral nerves has been known for nearly 200 years, the developmental origins and functional roles of all five main components of these specialized nervous system conduits are still poorly understood. One of these understudied nerve elements, the perineurium, is a component of the blood-nerve barrier and is essential ...

Stroke propensity in the Th3+/ mouse model of β-thalassemia intermedia
Neurobiology of Disease, 2022 β-thalassemia is associated with multiple hematological and cerebrovascular symptoms linked to a hypercoagulable state that has not been fully replicated in animal models for the development of stroke treatments.
