ALT Glial Lipids and Metabolism - Holly K. Gildea Chair: Holly Gildea, PhD Institution: NYU Langone Health Date & Time: Wednesday, October 9, 2–4:30 p.m. Location: MCP Room S105 Theme: Theme B – Neural Excitability, Synapses, and Glia Glia, including astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocytes among others, regulate much of the metabolic state of the nervous system. Intercellular communication using lipid metabolites transported, synthesized, or modified by glia has been previously implicated in degeneration, toxicity, and normal brain health. This minisymposium will highlight recent findings in glial metabolism and lipid biology and investigate potential interactions between glia and neurons under stress and at homeostasis.
