... glia physiology and their cross-talk with neurons, thus leading to neurodegeneration and progression of PD. Correspondence: Isabella Russo ( isabella.russo@unibs.it ) 20 2 2021 15 4 2021 16 4 2021 © 2021 The Author(s). Published by Portland Press Limited on behalf...

..., which maintain the well-being and function of neurons. Still, the study of age-related changes in neuron–glia signalling is far from complete. We have shown previously that cortical astrocytes are capable of releasing ATP by a quantal soluble N -ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor-attachment protein...

... the role of glia in neurodegeneration in an attempt to identify novel targets that could be used to develop much-needed strategies for the containment and cure of neurodegenerative disorders. We discuss this in the context of glial roles in the homoeostasis and defence of the brain. We consider...

... inflammatory-activated glia could sensitize co-cultured neurons to hypoxia in the same way as an NO donor. Inflammatory activation of glia (using lipopolysaccharide and interferon-γ), in a mature neuronal-glial culture, induced iNOS expression in astrocytes and microglia. Activated glia producing NO did...
