Neuroglia are responsible for gobbling up and destroying harmful molecules, excess proteins and other cellular debris that can damage neurons. (differencess.com)
Neuroglia are cells that function in the nervous system, and they are different from neurons. (differencess.com)
The nervous system, consisting of neurons and neuroglia, controls a wide range of body functions including motor function, sensory function, and cognitive function. (differencess.com)
The central nervous system is composed of large numbers of excitable nerve cells and their processes, called neurons, which are supported by specialized tissue called neuroglia. (medscape.com)
Glial1
Unlike glial progenitors in the subventricular zone, differentiated astrocytes undergo symmetric division, and their progeny integrate functionally into the existing glial network as mature astrocytes that form endfeet with blood vessels, couple electrically to neighbouring astrocytes, and take up glutamate after neuronal activity. (elsevierpure.com)
Neuron2
However, neuroglia play an important role in neuron health by clearing debris and promoting nerve growth. (differencess.com)
Neuroglia are the support cells of the neuron and they provide structural and functional integrity to the neuron. (differencess.com)

The models range from molecule level models in order to simulate brain metabolism, the neuroglia vascular system in order to understand the energy consumption of the brain, to detailed models for most parts of the mouse brain and simplified models for lesser known brain areas. (epfl.ch)
Meristematic tissue (also known simply as meristem) is the primary site of cell division in vascular plants, such as angiosperms and gymnosperms. (britannica.com)

There is a lot of debate surrounding the function of neuroglia, but scientists believe they play an important role in maintaining brain health. (differencess.com)
There are many different types of neuroglia, but they all have one common goal: to keep your brain healthy and functioning at its best! (differencess.com)
Neuroglia play an important role in the maintenance of the nervous system, and they can be found throughout the brain. (differencess.com)
Neuroglia are cells that reside in the central nervous system (CNS) and are responsible for overall brain function. (differencess.com)
Proper cell fate decisions by neuroglia stem cells are critical for growing the cell lineages that form the brain during development and to maintain adult brain homeostasis. (stanford.edu)
In the healthy brain, neuroglia stem cells generate progenitors, which in turn give rise to differentiating cells that will eventually acquire their final functional state. (stanford.edu)
Nerve cells1
Neuroglia cells are essential for the healthy function of nerve cells. (differencess.com)
Astrocytes1
Neuroglia can be either oligodendrocytes or astrocytes. (differencess.com)
Her postdoctoral studies on neural stem cells and asymmetric cell division in the Lab of Dr. Yuh Nung Jan at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and University of San Francisco, California implied for the first time a minus-end directed myosin in the process of cell fate determination.

Skeletal1
The amastigote form multiplies within virtually any cell, preferring cells of the reticuloendothelial system, cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and neuroglia. (med-chem.com)

Cell division -Method by which a single cell divides to create two cells. (cellmedicine.com)
The publication first elaborates on the techniques used in the study of cells and tissues, cell and cell division, and epithelia. (elsevier.com)
The vast majority of these cells did not divide, suggesting that the transgene was indeed regulated in a similar fashion as the endogenous GFAP gene. (lu.se)
If the required microbes are not available upon the resolution of the conflict , because they were destroyed through an overuse of antibiotics , the additional cells remain without further cell division. (learninggnm.com)
Experimental manipulations showed that κ-receptor activation increases astroglial [Ca 2+ ](i) both through influx via L-type channels and through mobilization of intracellular stores (which is an important Ca 2+ signaling pathway in cell division). (uky.edu)
Meristematic tissue is an "immature" tissue in that it is the tissue in which cell division and thus growth occurs. (britannica.com)
The trypomastigote does not divide in the blood but carries the infection to all parts of the body. (med-chem.com)
Important1
Understanding how neuroglia function is important for developing treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. (differencess.com)
White1
Winding around the inferior peduncle and crossing the area acustica and the medial eminence are a number of white strands, the striæ medullares, which form a portion of the cochlear division of the acoustic nerve and disappear into the median sulcus. (wikipedia.org)
