Fatty acids (FAs) are of crucial importance for brain homeostasis and neural function. Glia
cells support the high demand of FAs that the central nervous system (CNS) needs for its
proper functioning. Additionally, FAs can modulate inflammation and direct CNS repair,
thereby contributing to brain pathologies such Alzheimer's disease or multiple sclerosis.
Intervention strategies targeting FA synthesis in glia represents a potential therapeutic
opportunity for several CNS diseases.
