glial cells and neuroinflammation
Glial cells are a type of non-neuronal cells found in the brain and spinal cord. They provide support and maintain the health and functionality of neurons. Neuroinflammation, on the other hand, refers to inflammation in the nervous system caused by various factors such as infection or injury. Glial cells play a crucial role in neuroinflammation by responding to these factors and releasing inflammatory molecules that can either protect or damage the neurons.
