Neuroglia are the most abundant cells in the nervous system and consist of several distinct cell types, such as astrocytes, oligodendrocytes,and microglia. Accumulating evidence suggests that neuroglia participate in the neurodegenerative process, and as such are essential players in a variety of diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s. Intended for researchers and students, the book presents recent advances concerning the biology of neuroglia as well as their interaction with neurons during disease progression. In addition, to highlight the function of neuroglia in different types of neurodegenerative disease, it also discusses their mechanisms and effects on protecting or damaging neurons.Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology,0065-2598 ;1175NeurosciencesNeurology Molecular biologyNeuroscienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B18006Neurologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H36001Molecular Medicinehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B1700XNeurosciences.Neurology .Molecular biology.Neurosciences.Neurology.Molecular Medicine.616.8047Verkhratsky Alexeiedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtHo Margaret Sedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtZorec Robertedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtParpura Vladimiredthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910350348703321Neuroglia in Neurodegenerative Diseases2140601UNINA
