Modulation of Glial Function in Health, Aging, and Neurodegenerative Disease

Modulation of Glial Function in Health, Aging, and Neurodegenerative Disease

In the central nervous system (CNS), glial cells, such as microglia and astrocytes, are normally associated with support roles including contributions to energy metabolism, synaptic plasticity, and ion homeostasis. In addition to providing support for neurons, microglia and astrocytes function as th...
