Extracellular vesicles as mediators of neuron-glia communication

Extracellular vesicles as mediators of neuron-glia communication

In the nervous system, glia cells maintain homeostasis, synthesize myelin, provide metabolic support, and participate in immune defense. The communication between glia and neurons is essential to synchronize these diverse functions with brain activity. Evidence is accumulating that secreted extracel...
