The Real Master of the Brain : Glia ? by Sherlyn Jemimah
For decades, researchers working on neurodegenerative
disorders (like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s) focused on figuring out what happens in the neurons (brain cells). Brain research is replete with molecular and system-based studies, with neurons as the centerpiece. Now, data from next-generation sequencing technology has shed light on a group of cells, often overlooked in research, which may hold the key to fighting neurodegenerative disorders.
