diseases that glial cells contribute
Glia are seen as very important for the understanding of and development of treatments for Parkinsonâs Disease. The 2008 publication Glial reactions in Parkinsonâs disease raised the issue of whether glial activation is an important component in the etiology of Parkinsonâs disease (PD).icroglia (and astrocytes, another type of glial cells) are distributed in large non-overlapping regions throughout the brain and spinal cord. Microglia are constantly scavenging the CNS for damaged neurons, plaques, and infectious agents.
