The chronic dysfunction of neuronal cells, both central and peripheral, a characteristic of
neurological disorders, may be caused by irreversible damage and cell death. In 2016, more …

Dynamic adjustments to neuronal energy supply in response to synaptic activity are critical
for neuronal function. Glial cells known as astrocytes have processes that ensheath most …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a heterogeneous disease that develops as an interplay between
the immune system and environmental stimuli in genetically susceptible individuals. There is …

Once considered little more than the glue that holds neurons in place, astrocytes are now
becoming appreciated for the key roles they play in central nervous system functions. They …
