The role of glia in neurological disease
Glial cells form a network in the central nervous system to support neurons and interact with them. The glia consist essentially of astrocytes that help with the nutrition of neurons and react in some cases of injury, oligodendrocytes that produce myelin, and microglia that are derived from the haemopoietic system and are concerned with the immunological defense of the nervous system. Experimen...

متن کاملA single-nucleotide polymorphism in a herpesvirus DNA polymerase is sufficient to cause lethal neurological disease.
Epidemiological studies have shown that a single-nucleotide polymorphism in the equid herpesvirus type 1 DNA polymerase gene is associated with outbreaks of highly lethal neurological disease in horses. Reverse genetics experiments further demonstrated that a G(2254) A(2254) nucleotide mutation introduced in neurovirulent strain Ab4, which resulted in an asparagine for aspartic acid substitutio...
متن کاملHuman herpesvirus 6 in neurological diseases
Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is known since 1986 but the clinical disease exanthema subitum was described already in 1910. HHV-6 is a typical herpesvirus and also has the characteristic herpes group features, latency, tendency to reactivations, and neurotropism. In addition, it has an intriguing property to modulate immune response and to interact with other viruses, and alter their natural cour...
