Glial cells, also called glial cells or neuroglia, are cell which are non-neuronal and are located within the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system that provides physical and metabolic support to neurons, including neuronal insulation and communication, and nutrient and waste transport.

GLIAL CELLS SummaryOverview Glial cells vs neurons • Glial cells are smaller than neurons and are closely associate with neurons. Gray matter • Comprises neurons' dendrites and cell bodies White matter • Comprises the neurons' axons6 TYPES OF GLIAL CELLS Central Nervous System 1) Astrocytes (Macroglia) • Star-shaped • Support and brace neurons • Anchor neurons to supply lines • Help determine capillary permeability (helping to form blood/brain barrier) • Guide young neuron migration and…

To counteract oxidative stress and associated brain diseases, antioxidant systems rescue neuronal cells from oxidative stress by neutralizing reactive oxygen species and preserving gene regulation. It is necessary to understand the communication and interactions between brain cells, including neurons, astrocytes and microglia, to understand oxidative stress and antioxidant mechanisms. Here, the role of glia in the protection of neurons against oxidative injury and glia–neuron crosstalk to…
