The printer was able to first print a layer of retinal ganglion cells and then a layer of glial cells on top of them,
In the trial, eight to ten paralyzed individuals within 7 to 14 days of their injury will be injected at the point of injury with stem cellerived precursors to oligodendrocytes,
including a large proportion of specialised neurons, some blood vessel cells and glial cells, which take care of waste products,
and six different types of oligodendrocyte, which are cells that form the electrically insulating myelin sheath around the nerve cells.
Nerve cells are approximately 20 micrometres in diameter, glial cells about 10 micrometres. A micrometre is equivalent to a thousandth of a millimetre.
genetically modified white blood cells called macrophages to produce glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor, or GDNF, and deliver it to the brain.
Glial cells provide support and protection for nerve cells throughout the brain and body and GDNF can heal
and glial cells, which support neurons is hidden essentially. yelin is made by a glial cell wrapping around an axon cell,

The glial cell wraps like a spiral around the axon, so every time you try to study the region of contact between the two cells,
but that the glial cell is not providing proper support to the neuron. But to figure out exactly what going wrong, we needed a better way to study that interface.
The new technique for achieving this involves using the second cell (the neuron) as a trigger to attract the first cell (the glial cell.
because the communication between glial cells and neurons is vital for neuroprotection, she said. Yannick Poitelon, Ph d.,postdoctoral research scientist at HJKRI and first author of the paper, explained that glial cells support neurons metabolically
and protect axons that can measure up to one meter in length, extending far away from the glial cell. his has profound implications for glial disease like Krabbe, Charcot-Marie Tooth, peripheral neuropathies or Multiple sclerosis,
because the dysfunction of glial cells end up impairing the interactions with neurons, which as a result suffer
and degenerate causing devastating clinical symptoms, said Poitelon. imilarly, neurodegenerative diseases like Huntington disease or Lou Gehrig's,
are considered now diseases of cellular communications between neurons and glial cells. The work was funded by the National institutes of health o
where nearly all neurons are produced by stem cells called ventricular radial glia (vrgs) that inhabit a fertile layer of tissue deep in the brain called the ventricular zone (VZ).
which they dubbed outer radial glia (orgs) because these cells reside farther away from the nurturing ventricles, in an outer layer of the subventricular zone (osvz).
and look and behave quite differently from familiar ventricular radial glia. Their discovery immediately made Kriegstein
newborn neural progenitors and radial glia, as well as molecular markers differentiating orgs and vrgs, which allowed the researchers to isolate these cells for further study.
The gene activity profiles also provided several novel insights into the biology of outer radial glia.
The cultures contain both inhibitory and excitatory neurons and several varieties of essential neural support cells called glia.
known as glial cells, caused their brains to grow differently so they became more humanlike. These human glial cells,
which are the support cells of the brain providing it with structure and nutrients, multiplied and grew to replace a similar type of cell in the brains of the mice.
"Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common and most malignant tumors of glial cells, which provide structure to the brain.
#Where Glia Meets Axon: New Technique to Better Understand Myelination Since the early part of the 20th century,
"Myelin is made by a glial cell wrapping around an axon cell, "explained senior author M. Laura Feltri, M d.,professor of biochemistry and neurology in the Jacobs School of medicine and Biomedical sciences at UB."
The glial cell wraps like a spiral around the axon, so every time you try to study the region of contact between the two cells,
but that the glial cell is not providing proper support to the neuron. But to figure out exactly what's going wrong, we needed a better way to study that interface, Dr. Feltri noted.
The new technique described in the current study involves using the neuron as a trigger to attract glial cells.
because the dysfunction of glial cells end up impairing the interactions with neurons, which, as a result, suffer

#Protein Based Sensors Expand Synthetic biology Repertoire Engineering proteins to detect specific DNA, RNA, or peptide sequences may not be a new idea,
and deliver glial cell-line derived neurotropic factor (GDNF) to the brain. GDNF is known to act as a protective protein in the brain that can stimulate the growth and healing of damaged neurons.
according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention The new method produced dramatic images showing how glial cells
Specifically, the researchers developed a unique process to create massive quantities of a special type of stem cell called an oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC.
To prevent neural degeneration requires remyelination through new oligodendrocytes, which create the myelin sheath. These two drugs, miconazole and clobetasol, were found to treat the source of the problem by reversing this process,
increasing the number of new oligodendrocytes and enhancing remyelination.""Current therapies focus on stopping immune system attacks,
researchers discovered the therapeutic compounds for enhancing myelination from oligodendrocyte progenitor cells through screening a library of bioactive small molecules.
Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells are stem cells found in the central nervous system and the principal source of myelinating oligodendrocytes.
and associate professor in the Department of Genetics & Genome Sciences at the Case Western Reserve School of medicine, found seven drugs that enhance generation of mature oligodendrocytes
Neurological tumors, for example, may arise from glial cells that develop from the crest. Researchers with the institute Medical Informatics Systems division say cancer types can be found

"said Jonathan Kipnis, Phd, professor in the UVA Department of Neuroscience and director of UVA's Center for Brain Immunology and Glia (BIG)."
The team then demonstrated that the cells could be manipulated to give rise to multiple neural cell types including glial cells, dopaminergic cells of the central nervous system and nociceptive (pain) neurons of the peripheral nervous system.
