Researchers Discover “Gorditas” and Other Unheard Types of Brain Cells

Applied Science, Cell Biology, Neuroscience, Science /

According to a study published June 20 in Science, scientists discovered two types of glial cells in the brains of adult mice – an astrocyte and an oligodendrocyte progenitor cell – after pushing neural stem cells to rise from dormancy. The results indicate new roles for glial cells, notorious for offering support to neurons. They also
