Satellite glial cells in sensory ganglia: from form to function

M Hanani - Brain research reviews, 2005 - Elsevier
Current information indicates that glial cells participate in all the normal and pathological
processes of the central nervous system. Although much less is known about satellite glial
cells (SGCs) in sensory ganglia, it appears that these cells share many characteristics with
their central counterparts. This review presents information that has been accumulated
recently on the physiology and pharmacology of SGCs. It appears that SGCs carry receptors
for numerous neuroactive agents (eg, ATP, bradykinin) and can therefore receive signals …
