p10: reactive glial cells for brain injury
a common pathological process that occurred after brain injury is gliosis. gliosis involves the activation of glial cells to proliferate and become hypertrophic to occupy the injured brain areas. in order to form a defense system against the invasion of micro-organisms and cytotoxins into surrounding tissue, glial cells including astrocytes and microglia undergo reactive response to injury. neu...
متن کاملMüller glial cells of the goldfish retina are phagocytic in vitro but not in vivo.
The role of Müller glial cells in the process of degeneration and regeneration of the goldfish retina is poorly understood. One potential role is phagocytosis of neuronal debris in degenerating retinas. We investigated the phagocytic capacity of Müller glial cells of the goldfish retina both in vitro and in vivo. Müller glial cells from primary or first passage cultures were incubated with late...
متن کاملKeeping the CNS clear: glial phagocytic functions in Drosophila.
Elimination of unwanted and potentially harmful matter is crucial for nervous system development and function. Glia are the main cleaners of the CNS that perform their function through engulfment and degradation of dying neurons and degenerating neuronal branches, developing excessive axons and synapses. Recent studies in Drosophila melanogaster have enhanced significantly our understanding of ...
متن کاملPhagocytic glial cells: sculpting synaptic circuits in the developing nervous system.
In the developing nervous system, synaptic connections are formed in excess and must remodel to achieve the precise synaptic connectivity characteristic of the mature organism. Synaptic pruning is a developmental process in which subsets of synapses are eliminated while the remaining synapses are preserved and strengthened. Recent findings have demonstrated unexpected roles for glial cells in t...
