The studies by Santiago Ram6n y Cajal on astrocytes, and the
extense work developed by Pio del Rio Hortega dealing with
microglia and oligodendrocytes are with no doubt two important
milestones of neurobiology, and specially cf glial research. Since
these classical studies, the curiosity for understanding glial
cells has continuously grown. During the last two decades, the
development of new meth- ods of study, including cell culture
techniques and the use of histochemical and immunocytochemical
markers, has allowed a remarkable advance in this field. This
increasing interest is reflected by the creation of local and
international glial networks, the publication of the journal Glia,
the celebration of periodic interna- tional meetings and the
publication of extensive books focused on glial cells. In February
1997, with the establishment of the Spanish Glial Network, arose
the early idea of publishing a compendium of selected work by
Spanish glial research teams, which has fmally materialised in
Understanding Glial Cel/s, a book whose objective is to present
topics of current interest in glial cell biology.
