Dr Aschner has some very interesting comments on the role of glial cells in bilirubin neurotoxicity. His suggestion that bilirubin researchers should focus some of their interest on this group of cells, given the increase in knowledge about their more complex role in nervous system homeostasis, is well taken. It would certainly be quite welcome if investigators with relevant research experience would include bilirubin in their future experimental designs. It seems appropriate in this context to mention the fact that bilirubin researchers in the past have given attention to glial cells, although perhaps with a more limited scope than that suggested by Dr Aschner.
