(+info)Ependymoglial cells are a type of neuroglial cell that lines the ventricular system of the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord. They are called ependymal cells and have hair-like projections called cilia that help to circulate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) through the ventricles.
Ependymoglial cells also include a subpopulation known as tanycytes, which are specialized ependymal cells found in specific areas of the brain such as the third ventricle and the hypothalamus. Tanycytes have long processes that extend into the CSF and the adjacent brain tissue, allowing them to act as sensors for various chemical signals present in the CSF.
In addition to their role in maintaining CSF flow, ependymoglial cells also provide structural support to the central nervous system (CNS) and contribute to the formation of the blood-brain barrier. They have been shown to play important roles in CNS development, injury response, and disease processes such as tumor formation and neurodegeneration.
