Glial cells make up a large fraction of human nervous system cells, with numbers exceeding those of neurons by a factor of ten, depending on the brain structure studied.
The number of
glial cells in the three fields of each slice was randomly selected from 5 slices, recorded, and the mean was calculated.
NF-[kappa]B is crucial for
glial cell function and regulates many genes, which encode important protein players involved in immune function and inflammation [37].
Satellite
glial cells in sensory ganglia: their possible contribution to inflammatory pain.
To evaluate the response of the nerve cells in-vitro study was done,
glial cells were used for this purpose.
Postmortem studies in mood disorders indicate altered numbers of neurons and
glial cells. Biol.
Hence, we investigated the ability of plasmin to activate central nervous system
glial cells via PAR1 in an effort to identify key cellular events and highlight potential therapeutic targets.
Thus, immediate electrical and neurochemical events post-SCI activate pain-mediating substance transmission in synaptic clefts between neurons and
glial cells (see Figure 2).
It is becoming clear that future therapies may need to be tailored for specific types of
glial cells."
Estrogenic responsiveness of the reconstituted
glial cell model.
Attenuation of cochlear damage from noise trauma by an iron chelator, a free radical scavenger and
glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor in vivo.
The translocator protein acts as a marker for the activity of
glial cells. Images combining PET and MRI scans showed that healthy people had less translocator protein in their brains than did people with chronic back pain (SN Online: 1/13/lS).
