The overlooked astrocyte: Star-shaped brain cells may form specialized networks for reward learningTheir findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, unveiled the existence of astrocytic ensembles, specialized astrocyte subsets that appear to be active during reward-driven behaviors.
The mechanisms of pathological astrocyte responses during multiple sclerosis remain unclear. Kadowaki et al. found in MS mouse models that CLEC16A suppresses astrocyte pathogenic activities ...
Using single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, the scientists mapped astrocyte diversity across different brain regions and species, providing the first detailed molecular profile ...
Erythropoietin-producing hepatoma (Eph) receptors, including EphA4, are expressed on the cell surface and involved in brain development, which involves extensive pruning of synapses. A variant in ...
Researchers have created a four-dimensional brain map that reveals how MS-like lesions form, providing new insights into the earliest stages of the disease.
This cutting-edge research project at Ulster University dives into one of the brain's most fascinating mechanisms: the conversation between brain cells that keeps our minds healthy and functioning.
Three-dimensional reconstruction of an ensemble astrocyte tagged with AstroLight, in yellow, and a non-ensemble astrocyte, in red. Credit: Serra et al. "We adapted a tool originally designed for ...
Magdalena Götz from Helmholtz Munich, LMU and the Munich Cluster for Systems Neurology (SyNergy), has identified different subtypes of white matter (WM) astrocytes, including a unique type with the ...
