What the Neuron Tells Glia
Astrocytic processes at the synapse contribute to neurotransmission, but we understand little about their formation and differentiation. In this issue of Neuron, Yang et al. show that presynaptic input induces expression of the predominant glial transporter involved in glutamate clearance, and this induction involves the transcription factor kappa B-binding protein.
متن کاملGlia–neuron interactions in the mammalian retina
The mammalian retina provides an excellent opportunity to study glia-neuron interactions and the interactions of glia with blood vessels. Three main types of glial cells are found in the mammalian retina that serve to maintain retinal homeostasis: astrocytes, Müller cells and resident microglia. Müller cells, astrocytes and microglia not only provide structural support but they are also involve...
متن کاملNeuron-glia synapses in the brain.
The ability to investigate the electrophysiological properties of individual cells in acute brain tissue led to the discovery that many glial cells have the capacity to respond rapidly to neuronal activity. In particular, a distinct class of neuroglial cells known as NG2 cells, which exhibit many of the properties that have been described for glial subtypes such as complex cells, polydendrocyte...
متن کاملRedox homeostasis protects mitochondria through accelerating ROS conversion to enhance hypoxia resistance in cancer cells
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of eukaryotic cells and the main source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in hypoxic cells, participating in regulating redox homeostasis. The mechanism of tumor hypoxia tolerance, especially the role of mitochondria in tumor hypoxia resistance remains largely unknown. This study aimed to explore the role of mitochondria in tumor hypoxia resistance. We observed t...
متن کاملUnlocking the Neurogenic Potential of Mammalian Müller Glia
Müller glia (MG) are the primary support cells in the vertebrate retina, regulating homeostasis in one of the most metabolically active tissues. In lower vertebrates such as fish, they respond to injury by proliferating and reprogramming to regenerate retinal neurons. In mammals, MG may also react to injury by proliferating, but they fail to initiate regeneration. The barriers to regeneration c...
