Example sentences for: glial
How can you use “glial” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In glial cells, fluorescence is present throughout the cell but excluded from the nucleus; in neurons, immunoreactivity is evident in both the soma and processes.
Earlier investigations also reported MIF immunostaining in the white matter of the spinal cord [ 21 ] . However, we also observed cells in the dorsal horn that stained for MIF but not for GFAP, suggesting they were neuronal rather than glial cells.
Spinal cord injury disrupts the anatomical organization (geometry) of the cells and molecules that compose fiber tracts, including myelin, and elicits glial scarring, including astrogliosis and increased expression of CSPGs [ 30].
In the IML region, only double-labeled cells were observed, suggesting that only glial cells containing MIF were detected in the IML region (Fig 4D).
Although cytokines are traditionally associated with peripheral immune reactions as part of the innate response, evidence is accumulating that they may also be involved in normal brain function and may mediate pathological responses such as hyperalgesia [ 26 27 ] . In fact, the abundance of MIF in glia of the spinal cord is particularly interesting since glial cells have been suggested as involved in hyperalgesia through the release of cytokines and other substances [ 28 ] . Given the presence of MIF in the pelvic organs (bladder, prostate) and the central and peripheral nervous system tissues that innervate these organs, as well as the fact that bladder inflammation appears to upregulate MIF in these areas, it is possible that MIF represents a therapeutic target in reducing or preventing pelvic viscera inflammation.
