Glial Biology

Glial biology is the academic field dedicated to investigating the diverse population of glial cells within the nervous system. It explores their development, structure, function, and complex interactions with neurons and other cells, elucidating their critical roles in nervous system health, disease, and fundamental processes like neuroinflammation, synaptic plasticity, and tissue repair.
