Glial Biology
Glial cells are cells that are non-neuronal and are located within the central nervous system and the peripherial nervous system. They provide physical and metabolic support to neurons, including neuronal insulation and communication and nutrient and waste transport. Glial biology refers to the study of the molecular and cellural biology of glial cells.
