Glia in mammalian development and disease

Abstract

Glia account for more than half of the cells in the mammalian nervous system, and the past few decades have witnessed a flood of studies that detail novel functions for glia in nervous system development, plasticity and disease. Here, and in the accompanying poster, we review the origins of glia and discuss their diverse roles during development, in the adult nervous system and in the context of disease.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The results are consistent with literature indicating that different types of glia may contribute to Alzheimer's disease via different regulatory mechanisms.

    “These results are consistent with a newly emerging literature which indicates that different types of glia may contribute to the disease via different regulatory mechanisms55–57.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
