Glia–neuron interactions in the mammalian retina
The mammalian retina provides an excellent opportunity to study glia-neuron interactions and the interactions of glia with blood vessels. Three main types of glial cells are found in the mammalian retina that serve to maintain retinal homeostasis: astrocytes, Müller cells and resident microglia. Müller cells, astrocytes and microglia not only provide structural support but they are also involve...
متن کاملPurinergic Signalling in Neuron–glia Interactions
Glial cells are numerically the dominant cell type in the central and peripheralnervous system. They are intermixed with the nerve cells and are found in intimatecontacts with neuronal cell bodies, dendrites, axons and synaptic contacts. Like neurons,glial cells are a heterogeneous population of cells that differ in developmental origin,molecular composition, structure and activ...
متن کاملSREBPs: SREBP function in glia-neuron interactions.
The mammalian nervous system is relatively autonomous in lipid metabolism. In particular, Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system, and oligodendrocytes and astrocytes in the central nervous system, are highly active in lipid synthesis. Previously, enzymatic lipid synthesis in the liver has been demonstrated to be under the control of the sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) ...
متن کاملBrain aging: insights into neuron-glia interactions
Aging begins at maturity and is characterized by increasing deviations from an ideal functional state. One major reason for this is thought to be oxydatif stress. The brain is particularly susceptible to oxidative damage. Besides neurons, glial cells, a major family of neural cells, are directly involved in vital brain functions and particularly in the brain antioxidant defence. This review bri...
متن کاملExtracellular 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 extracellular vesicles (EVs), such as exosomes and shedding microvesicles, are key players in intercellul...
