  2. Retinal regeneration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinal_regeneration

    While Muller glia division is responsible for the regeneration of the retina in all cases of retinal damage, the case of photoreceptor loss due to light damage is particularly well characterized. In response to photoreceptor ablation, Muller glia dedifferentiate and undergo a single asymmetric division to produce a neural progenitor cell and a ...

  3. Glia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glia

    In the central nervous system (CNS), glia suppress repair. Glial cells known as astrocytes enlarge and proliferate to form a scar and produce inhibitory molecules that inhibit regrowth of a damaged or severed axon. In the peripheral nervous system (PNS), glial cells known as Schwann cells (or also as neuri-lemmocytes) promote repair. After ...

  4. Gliotoxin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliotoxin

    GliA is a transporter involved in the secretion of gliotoxin, and it has been found that depletion of the GliA protein would result in cell death in A. fumigatus and significantly increase A. fumigatus sensitivity to gliotoxin. [18]

  5. Neuroregeneration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroregeneration

    Neuroregeneration is the regrowth or repair of nervous tissues, cells or cell products. Neuroregenerative mechanisms may include generation of new neurons , glia , axons , myelin , or synapses . Neuroregeneration differs between the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and the central nervous system (CNS) by the functional mechanisms involved ...

  6. Olfactory ensheathing cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olfactory_ensheathing_cell

    Olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs), also known as olfactory ensheathing glia or olfactory ensheathing glial cells, are a type of macroglia (radial glia) found in the nervous system. They are also known as olfactory Schwann cells , because they ensheath the non- myelinated axons of olfactory neurons in a similar way to which Schwann cells ...

  7. Gliogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliogenesis

    Gliogenesis results in the formation of non-neuronal glia populations from neuronal cells. In this capacity, glial cells provide multiple functions to both the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Subsequent differentiation of glial cell populations results in function-specialized glial lineages.

  9. Parenchyma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parenchyma

    The brain parenchyma refers to the functional tissue in the brain that is made up of the two types of brain cell, neurons and glial cells. [7] It is also known to contain collagen proteins. [8] Damage or trauma to the brain parenchyma often results in a loss of cognitive ability or even death.
