Glia (journal)

Glia cover

Glia is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on all aspects of glial cells. Glial cells, also known as glia or neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells in the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) that do not produce electrical impulses. They are essential for the functioning of neurons, providing support and protection, participating in the blood-brain barrier, and playing critical roles in neurotransmission and brain maintenance.

Overview

The journal Glia publishes original research articles, reviews, and commentaries that focus on the biology and function of glial cells. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the development, regulation, and pathology of glial cells in the CNS and PNS. The journal aims to foster understanding of the roles of glial cells in health and disease, including their involvement in neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and gliomas.
