This journal focuses on the biology of glial cells, including astrocytes and microglia, within the central nervous system. Research investigates their roles in neural development, homeostasis, and disease states such as neuropathic pain, tumors, stroke, and neurodegenerative conditions. Studies also explore glial cell interactions with neurons and their involvement in processes like neuroinflammation, synapse pruning, and tissue repair.
