Gliocyte mantle

Mantle gliocytes (G. mantelli, LNH synonym: satellite cells) are cells that are in close connection with nervous tissue and participate in its regeneration. They were first described by Italian histologist Giuseppe Mantelli in 1863.

Mantle gliocytes are small cells with an oval or round shape and a smooth surface. They have a nucleus containing several nucleoli and many small vacuoles filled with glycoproteins. These cells play an important role in maintaining the function of nerve tissue and its regeneration after damage.

One of the main functions of mantle gliocytes is the regulation of the growth and development of nervous tissue. They are also involved in the formation of new nerve connections and the repair of damaged nerve cells. Due to their ability to regenerate, GBM can help treat damage to nerve tissue such as trauma, stroke and other diseases.

However, despite their importance, mantle gliocytes are still not fully understood. Researchers continue to study their functions and mechanisms of regeneration in order to better understand the processes occurring in nervous tissue.

In general, mantle gliocytes play an important role in the functioning of nervous tissue and can be used to treat damage to the nervous system. However, further research is needed to more fully understand their functions and regeneration mechanisms.
