Ferroptosis in Parkinson's disease: glia-neuron crosstalk.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by dopaminergic (DA) neuron loss and the formation of cytoplasmic protein inclusions. Although the exact pathogenesis of PD is unknown, iron dyshomeostasis has been proposed as a potential contributing factor ...

The “Neuro-Glial-Vascular” Unit: The Role of Glia in Neurovascular Unit Formation and Dysfunction
The neurovascular unit (NVU) is a complex multi-cellular structure consisting of endothelial cells (ECs), neurons, glia, smooth muscle cells (SMCs), and pericytes.

Twenty years ago glial cells were shown to contribute to neuronal information processing, instead of merely supporting neuronal function, thus challenging the century old neuron doctrine. Due to the lack of appropriate experimental models, however, determining the role of glia in higher brain function and disease has been hampered.

Glial cells coordinate the differentiation, metabolism, and excitability of neurons; they modulate synaptic transmission and integrate signals emanating from neurons and other glial cells. Several evidences underlying the relation between these pathways and the regulatory mechanisms of ion concentration, supporting the role of Aquaporins (AQPs) in ...

Peripheral glia diversity [PDF]
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.

Development of myelinating glia: An overview
Myelin is essential to nervous system function, playing roles in saltatory conduction and trophic support. Oligodendrocytes (OLs) and Schwann cells (SCs) form myelin in the central and peripheral nervous systems respectively and follow different ...

Regulations of Retinal Inflammation: Focusing on Müller Glia
Retinal inflammation underlies multiple prevalent retinal diseases. While microglia are one of the most studied cell types regarding retinal inflammation, growing evidence shows that Müller glia play critical roles in the regulation of retinal ...

The human cortex comprises diverse cell types that emerge from an initially uniform neuroepithelium that gives rise to radial glia, the neural stem cells of the cortex.

Diversity of satellite glia in sympathetic and sensory ganglia
Satellite glia are the major glial type found in ganglia of the peripheral nervous system and wrap around cell bodies of sympathetic and sensory neurons that are very diverse. Other than their close physical association with peripheral neurons, little is

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 ...
