The increasing implication of glial cells in neurodegenerative diseases makes them an appealing addition to iPSC-based model systems for investigating disease mechanisms. Over the last decade, Dr.

The Deneen Lab seeks to unlock the enigmatic biology surrounding glial cell development and function in the brain. Beginning with developmental gliogenesis, we identified the key transcriptional ...

New research highlights neuroglia (or glia cells) as critical players in mental health, potentially influencing conditions like depression and schizophrenia.

Glioma, tumors that form in the glial cells of the brain and spinal cord, can present as benign (non-cancerous) or malignant ...

Glioblastoma arises from special brain cells names glial cells. Glial cells help providing nutrition and support to brain cells. Tumors from glial cells are often aggressive. They can start in the ...
