Glial Cells in Health and Disease, Prague 2011
Staff from the OU attended the 2011 European Glial Cells in Health and Disease meeting in Prague in September. Dr Jane Loughlin organised and co-chaired a symposium entitled “3D neural cell culture – using tissue-like microenvironments to model normal and pathological neural/glial cell behaviours” which attracted widespread interest from delegates and involved presentations from researchers in […]
