A group of South Korean scientists have discovered what could be a significant source of neurological disorders, such as depression, and may lead to the development of better treatment for such illnesses, the science ministry said on Saturday.
The team led by Lee Chang-joon, a researcher from the Korea Institute of Science & Technology, confirmed for the first time in the world that non-neuronal cells can secrete glutamate, a neurotransmitter that is important for learning and memory, according to the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology.
Abnormal secretion of glutamate can cause an imbalance between substances in the human nervous system that stimulate or depress and could lead to neurological disorders, according to the research team, which also included Professor Park Jae-yong of the Gyeongsang National University and Prof Bae Yong-cheol of Kyungpook National University.
"By confirming molecular secretion of neurotransmitters by non-neuronal cells for the first time in the world, this study suggests the possibility of new, better treatment for neurological disorders that are caused by an imbalance between stimulants and depressors," Lee was quoted as saying.
The scientist, working with a different team then, confirmed secretion of neurotransmitters by non-neuronal cells, also for the first time in the world, two years ago.
Lee and his team's latest findings were published Friday in the latest edition of international science journal Cell.
