I like to study glia for the same reason that I like to play the viola. Most folks study neurons or play the violin, so glial biologists and violists are always in short supply. But as a violist ...

A decade ago, glia were the neglected stepchildren of neuroscience. Although glia outnumber neurons by about ten to 1 in the adult human brain, providing support for neurons has traditionally been ...

Recent research reveals that “nerve glue” plays significant roles in psychiatric conditions such as depression and ...

Technology development of multi-omics: We have developed the first single-cell RNA sequencing platform in Drosophila neurons and glia for studying neural development (Li et al., 2017 Cell; Li et al ...

We study how neurons and glia come together to create networks that underly our physiology and behavior to better understand pathophysiologies, behavioral disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases.

It's only during the last few decades that neuroglia, a diverse group of cells found in the brain that perform a variety of functions to support neurons, have been the subject of research.

Prior to that, brain research focused heavily on the role of neurons. But as investigations continue, scientists increasingly suspect that these cells, often called glia cells or “nerve glue ...

This work paves the way for further research to exploit these findings and leverage lineage reprogramming of glia into ...

Over the last decade, Dr. Fossati’s lab has developed robust and efficient protocols to generate human oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, microglia, neurons and complex 3D organoid cultures with the full ...
