1. Plural of gliosis; a proliferation of astrocytes (glial cells) in the brain or spinal cord, typically occurring as a response to injury, inflammation, or neurodegeneration.
Usage: medical/neuroscience term; used in clinical and research contexts

Examples

• The MRI scan revealed multiple areas of glioses in the patient's brain following the stroke.
• Chronic neuroinflammation can lead to progressive glioses that impair neural function.
• Researchers studied glioses as a marker of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease.
• The extent of glioses observed in the tissue samples correlated with disease severity.
• Post-traumatic glioses can contribute to long-term complications after spinal cord injury.
