The mystery and magic of glia: a perspective on their roles in health and disease.

Neuron | 2008

In this perspective, I review recent evidence that glial cells are critical participants in every major aspect of brain development, function, and disease. Far more active than once thought, glial cells powerfully control synapse formation, function, and blood flow. They secrete many substances whose roles are not understood, and they are central players in CNS injury and disease. I argue that until the roles of nonneuronal cells are more fully understood and considered, neurobiology as a whole will progress only slowly.

Myelin Repair Foundation (tool)

RRID:SCR_003723

A non-profit foundation that funds basic research and is focused on accelerating the development of myelin repair therapeutics for multiple sclerosis. They have defined a 15-year research plan to develop a drug or drugs and believes its Accelerated Research Collaborative (ARC) model can subsequently be used to accelerate the treatment for all diseases. The ARC framework coordinates and manages the entire therapeutic development continuum from discovery biology to FDA approval. The model works by coordinating multi-disciplinary basic research from academic and government laboratories, systematically validating and derisking potential compounds/targets, and collaborating with pharma partners to increase the probability of successful programs.
