Neuroglia, Volume 6, Issue 1

The central nervous system (CNS) relies on complex and dynamic interactions between neurons and glial cells. Among glial cells, astrocytes regulate the chemical environment surrounding neurons and supply essential nutrients for brain metabolism where...

High-grade gliomas are aggressive, primary, central nervous system tumors with low survival rates due to recurrence and resistance to current therapy models. Recent studies have highlighted the importance between the interaction of glioma cancer cell...

Background/Objectives: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition that leads to a cascade of cellular and molecular events, resulting in both primary and secondary damage. Among the many cells involved in the post-SCI environment, glial cell...

Vestibular disorders significantly affect individuals by impairing balance, spatial orientation, and quality of life. Despite the focus on neuronal mechanisms, emerging research emphasizes the importance of neuroglia—astrocytes, microglia, olig...

Background/Objectives: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition marked by challenges in social communication, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviors. Recent studies highlight the crucial roles of neuroglial cel...

Background: Neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), stroke, and spinal cord injury (SCI) are significant global health challenges due to their complex pathology and limited therapeutic options. C...

Background: Angiogenesis is a key factor necessary for tissue growth but becomes often dysregulated in cancer, driving tumour progression. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) induces abnormal vascular remodelling via Hypoxia-activated VEGF, FGF and PDGF. D...

Background: The Notch signaling pathway is an important regulator of stem cell activity in various tissues, including the central nervous system. It has been implicated in neurodevelopmental processes, including neuronal differentiation and synaptic...

This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the main types, subtypes, clinical manifestations, and current therapeutic strategies for multiple sclerosis, emphasizing recent advancements and clinical challenges. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is...

Gliomas, ranging from low-grade pilocytic astrocytomas to highly malignant glioblastomas, are primary brain tumors that originate from neural or glial stem cells. Classified by the WHO into grades 1 to 4, these tumors exhibit varying prognoses, with...

Overexposure of humans to heavy metals and essential metals poses a significant risk for the development of neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders. The mechanisms through which these metals exert their effects include the generation of reactiv...

Microglia are exceptionally dynamic resident innate immune cells within the central nervous system, existing on a continuum of morphologies and functions throughout their lifespan. They play vital roles in response to injuries and infections, clearin...

Background/Objectives: Glioblastoma (GBM), a highly aggressive grade IV astrocytoma, poses a major therapeutic challenge due to the resistance of cancer stem cells (CSCs) existing within its cell population to the conventional therapies. Recently, we...

Astrocyte activation is a critical aspect of brain health and disease, and the central circadian clock protein BMAL1 has emerged as a regulator of astrogliosis and inflammatory gene expression. Bmal1 deletion in astrocytes reprograms endolysosomal tr...
