Node Smith, ND The replacement of lost neurons is a holy grail for neuroscience. A new promising approach is the conversion of glial cells into new neurons. Improving the efficiency of this [...]

Node Smith, ND The brain has a high energy demand and reacts very sensitively to oxygen deficiency. Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich neurobiologists have now succeeded for the [...]

Node Smith, ND A very interesting discovery was made recently at a laboratory at UT Southwestern when scientists attempted to transform glial cells into dopaminergic neurons, like those lost in [...]

A new study looks at the role of astrocytes in regulating circadian rhythms through communication with neurons in the brain.1 Astrocytes are glial cells of the central nervous system, which [...]
